I have just noticed my visa type is not non-B as I expected but something called non-RE, something I have never heard of before. I work in BOI company and have a WP. I am aiming to get the permanent residency next year. Am in in trouble?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user was confused about their visa classification, which appeared as 'Non-RE' instead of the expected 'Non-B'. According to comments from other users, 'Non-RE' indicates that the individual entered Thailand on a re-entry permit linked to a non-immigrant visa, and it does not pose any issues for their residency status or plans for permanent residency.

It means you used a re-entry permit.

There is no problem with that stamp. "Non-RE" in the VISA CLASS field of the entry stamp means you entered on a Re-entry permit with a Non-Immigrant visa/extension of any type (B, O, ED, etc), in your case with an extension based on employment.

You don't have to worry about it.

, Religious-related visa is Non-R/Non-RA, not Non-RE. Most AI is using the information on the internet, which contains a lot of incorrect information still, sadly.
