I hold a valid multi entry Non-O visa , 2 part Q:

1. As it is still valid until Dec and I will further renew it, I have the funds locked in my Thai account and have all the relevant requirements to remain. My 90-day reporting is due in June, and I am currently in the UK. Do I still need to renew online, or does it reset when I return in August?

2. Can I get a one-way flight, or is a return flight ticket mandatory?
Answer summary
The user inquires about their Non-O visa status while in the UK, specifically regarding the need for 90-day reporting and whether a return flight ticket is required for re-entering Thailand. Community comments clarify that as long as they are not in Thailand, the 90-day reporting does not apply, and it will reset upon return. They also confirm that a one-way ticket is acceptable for travel.

OP
Thank you for the comments, it confirmed my thoughts, just checking on the 1 way ticket. Yes, I did mean extension of stay not renewal of visa.

Unless you got a reentry permit, you will be starting over with a new visa.

Technically You do not renew Your Non-O visa, that's expired, over and done with, after the initial 90 days You are applying for or renewing an Extension Of Stay. This is for 12 months. With regard to Your question on 90 day reporting, it only applies if You remain in Thailand 90 days. Once You leave there is no requirement to submit a report and You start a new 90 days the day You reenter the Country.

90 day report is due after 90 days in the Kingdom so if you are in the UK it doesn’t apply , yes it resets when you re-enter the Kingdom . Flight ticket I have no idea , sorry , but with your extension of stay I can’t see why a return would be required.

Extension of stay?

90 day report is not required if your not in country. 90 day starts on arrival.

Long stay visa can travel on a one way ticket.

You only report if you spend 90 consecutive days inside Thailand. The 90 day count will start again when you return with the day you enter being day 1 and yes you can get a one way flight
