ORIGINAL POSTER
If you are on a non O 1 year extension and have a re entry permit and am out of Thailand when the extension runs out what is the procedure when returning to Thailand. Is the expired extension reactivated ?

TLDR : Answer Summary
If you are outside Thailand when your one-year Non-O extension expires, it does not get reactivated upon your return. You would need to apply for a new 90-day Non-O visa and then seek a subsequent one-year extension.

Nothing re-activates an extension. If you're not back in Thailand before your extension ends in order to apply for a new one then your extension ends. You would have to start over again from a 90 day non-O visa and then apply for a new 1-year extension after that.
