How many days should I have left on my non o marriage extension before being denied access to the country?  Thank you.

Answer summary

To avoid issues upon re-entry to Thailand with a NON-O marriage extension, it's advisable to have some days remaining on your visa before applying for a year extension. While technically you can enter if you have a valid extension and a re-entry permit, it's recommended to ensure you apply for your extension before it expires to prevent any complications at immigration.

I let my lapse this year because I was out for work longer than normal. When I came back on a tourist visa I was interrogated and told to never do it again

I don't understand the question? If you have days left (and a re-entry permit) you can come in. What would possibly lead to a refused entry?

I also did not understand the question. But, if I had to come up with an answer, it would be zero. Zero days remaining means your visa is no longer valid.

10 days or less validity.. Immigration might opt for a 60 day tourist stamp, or airlines might request a return ticket?

they can't give you a 60 day visa exempt stamp even if you asked. You can't not use a visa or re-entry if you have it.

Airlines can also not just randomly ask for return tickets. They pre-check whether you are eligible to enter, and with the reentry permit a return ticket isn't required. No matter how many days are left, the extension is aimed at long stay and that's how the accompanying entry rules are defined: no exit travel ticket required.

As long as you have the re-entry permit they should let you in as long as your extension is still valid.

Zero days. Except that wouldn’t be too advisable because you need to immediately apply for the year extension.
