Hello, my partner and I are Australian and we are in Thailand (Bangkok) on a work and holiday visa (non-immigrant B-A) which is multi entry and valid for 12 months. The visa in our passports says it is valid until 30 May 2023 (12 months from the date it was granted to us in Australia), however each time we have left and re-entered (I have done this 3 times now) immigration has stamped our passports for 12 months from the date of reentry. So I now have a stamp in my passport saying I’m admitted until January 2024. This seems too good to be true so I want to get some advice before we rely on it. Can you assist? My main question is does this mean I am legally allowed to remain in Thailand until January 2024? And if so, would I still be able to leave Thailand and re-enter after 30 May 2023? Grateful for any advice you have, or where to seek it, as I do understand this is a rare visa type!
TLDR : Answer Summary
You are legally allowed to remain in Thailand until the 'Admitted Until' date stamped on your passport after each entry, which in your case extends to January 2024 based on your last entry. If you leave Thailand before the original visa expiration date of May 30, 2023, and re-enter, you can potentially receive a new stamp allowing you to stay for another year. However, if you intend to travel after May 30, 2023, you will need a Re-Entry Permit to maintain your legal status for your subsequent entry.
