Hi, I currently hold a Non-B multiple entry visa valid from 19MAR2020 until 18MAR2021. My last entry stamp expired on 17JUN2020. I'm now on amnesty until Sept 26. I have a work permit that's valid until 29MAY2021.
I understand all my current, limited options to remain in country on this current visa and none of them seem financially feasible. I'm now giving serious consideration to going back to the US when/ before amnesty expires on the 26th.
My question is this: Even though my last entry stamp expired on 17JUN2020 if I leave on/ before amnesty expires, is my visa technically still valid until 18MAR2021? In other words if I returned to the US Sept 26 and returned two months later, for example, would I receive a new 90 day stamp and my current Non-B ME visa retain its validity until its original expiration date?
This is an extremely difficult decision to make and I would hate to return to Thailand only to find out my visa was invalidated because I was on amnesty. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The questioner holds a Non-B multiple entry visa that is valid until March 18, 2021, and is currently on amnesty until September 26, 2020. They are considering returning to the US before the amnesty period ends and are concerned about the validity of their visa upon re-entry. Responses suggest that as long as the visa was valid and they leave before the amnesty expires, they should be able to return to Thailand on that visa. Concerns regarding the costs of re-entry and the eligibility to return due to current restrictions were also raised.
