TLDR : Answer Summary

The possibility of exiting and re-entering Thailand shortly before the expiration of a Non-B visa to obtain an additional 90-day stay appears to still be valid, assuming you hold a multi-entry Non-B visa. Community members confirm that if your visa was issued by a Thai consulate abroad, you should be able to border bounce before the 'enter before' date on your visa, thus granting another 90-day stay.

Not sure about this anymore. Always worked in the past but last time they only stamped my boyfriend in until the expiry date of his visa - not the extra 90 days

Yes it was a 1 year Multi-entry Non B. I don't understand it but it happened 2 or 3 times, so it wasn't a one off mistake.

If he was really holding a year-long, multi-entry Non-Immigrant type visa that is not how those visas types work,

I'd say he got a wrong stamp and he should have went to the immigration office and got it corrected. Those visas are good for a 90 day entry stamp as long as you enter on or prior to the "enter before" date on the visa itself

You need to be sure you have a year-long, multi-entry Non-B VISA (that you got from a thai consulate in another country and not a yearly extension of stay that you got from the immigration office inside the country...

If you have a visa you can border bounce, prior to the "enter before" date on the visa itself and get another 90 days.
