What are the exit and entry requirements for my Non-Imm O-A visa before the expiry dates?

Non-Immigrant O-A Visa Visa Expiry Thailand Immigration Re-entry Permit Visa Status Management

October 1, 2018

ORIGINAL POSTER

I am receiving conflicting advice from the TV forum and an "agency" I popped into in Chiang Mai, so I'm hoping to get things cleared up here (please!)

My Non-Imm O-A has an "Enter before date" of 18 October 2018.

My last entry into Thailand is stamped as 30 January 2018.

My question - MUST I exit and return from/to Thailand on or before 18 October 2018 OR on or before 29 January 2019?

I wish to retain my multi-entry status, if that helps.....

TIA 

Phil

TLDR : Answer Summary

And after 18 Oct, you need get re-entry permit before you leave Thailand to keep your admitted stay 'alive'. Your multi-entry status is finish with your visa itself.

If you want to get more time out of the Visa, you can exit/entry Thailand again just before or on 18 Oct 2018. On entry you will get a new year of stay. You can also stay till 29 Jan 2019, but if you leave than you need a new Visa or Visa Exempt entry to return into Thailand.
