My friend, Austrian passport got 12 months extension on her Non O visa based on being over 50 years. However she had to leaveThailand unexpectedly between the date her Non O expired and her extension kicked in. Her extension lasts until 15/12/2023, she bought a single entry, re-entry permit before she left. Will that re entry permit be applied against her Non O only, or will it keep her extension alive?

TLDR : Answer Summary
An Austrian expat's Non-O visa was extended for 12 months due to her age. She left Thailand between the expiration of her visa and the start of her extension, which lasts until December 15, 2023. There is a question about whether her re-entry permit, bought before departure, will keep her extension valid upon her return.

If the extension is stamped in the passport it has already kicked in

What does the re-entry permit say?

It's tied to the same ending date as her extension of stay.
