What happens to my 90-day Non-O visa if I leave Thailand and return using a re-entry permit before the 90 days are over?

Ho all. On a 90 day, Non-O, single entry obtained in the UK.

If i get a re-entry permit and leave and re-enter before the 90 days is up, will I get an additional 90 days or only up until when the original 90 days was due to end? In/out via plane. Thanks in advance for any info.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The consensus is that if you have a Non-O Visa with a single entry and you exit Thailand using a re-entry permit, you will not receive an additional 90 days upon re-entry. Instead, your stay will only last until the original 90-day period you were granted upon your initial entry. Therefore, you cannot extend your stay beyond the initial duration even when using a re-entry permit.

Single entry, you can't extend the date on your entry stamp regardless of using a re-entry permit.

One more question, is there no way to upgrade the visa to a 1 year? Used to be able to get a 1 year multiple entry in UK but no longer an option when applying.

yes you can extend if you meet the requirements for the extension, you will need to get yourself a bank account as you arrive and then deposit 800k baht in it for at least 2 months before applying for the extension, also a phone number and resident certificate from immigration (using TM30 from your accommodation). Then off you go!!

You will only keep the original date you stamped in on. It's doesn't reset the 90 days each time you re-enter
