ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
If you hold a Non-O visa based on marriage to a Thai national and you're planning to apply for an extension, it's important to be aware of the under consideration period. You can apply for the next year of your visa when you have 45 days or less remaining, starting from 10/10/25 in this case. Upon applying, you will receive a 21-day under consideration period. If you apply on 10/10/25, your current extension will still be valid when you travel, provided you inform immigration officers of your need to leave Thailand during this time. It is advisable to obtain a new re-entry permit for this 21-day period to avoid complications.
