ORIGINAL POSTER
I have been living in Thailand on a NON-O marriage visa, that expired when I returned to UK for a 3 week holiday with my thai wife. I didn't renew Non-O as I didn't have 400k baht in thai bank account at that time. What are the chances of me having problems entering BKK with a visa exempt on my return?

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user is inquiring about the likelihood of encountering issues when re-entering Thailand on a visa-exempt basis, after their NON-O marriage visa expired during a short trip to the UK. They were unable to renew the NON-O visa due to not meeting the 400,000 baht bank balance requirement. Comments suggest that reapplying for a NON-O visa could be a solution, and there is reassurance that there shouldn’t be any problems with the visa-exempt entry.

Why not get a new Non-O before you return?
