Does leaving Thailand before obtaining a one-year Non-O visa stamp affect my application?

Non-O Visa Visa Extension Re-entry Permit Thailand Visa Rules Immigration Process

ORIGINAL POSTER

Good morning, I applied for non-O visa and got my initial 90 days, supposed to return 30th of May to receive one year stamp. I now may have to return to the USA in early May for a couple of weeks. My question is does this negated my Non-O visa application?  If not, do I apply for a reentry permit and then proceed to get my 1 year stamp when I return in Mid May?  TIA for any guidance this group may provide.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is concerned about the implications of leaving Thailand for the USA before receiving the one-year stamp on their Non-O visa, which they applied for but have just received an initial 90-day approval. They inquire if their absence would negate their application and whether they should apply for a re-entry permit.

If you don't complete your 1 year extension before you leave the country, and your 90 day Non-O expires while you're outside of Thailand, you'll have to restart the process (either by applying for a new Non-O in the USA or entering Thailand visa exempt and applying for a new Non-O in country).

thank you for your answer. I would be back before my initial 90 day period expires.

Then you'd need to apply for a reentry permit before you leave so you can re-enter with you Non-O.

Also, you need to apply for a 1 year extension of your Non-O. The time varies by office but I believe Bangkok is 15 days before expiration, I'll have to confirm that though.
