Hello I have a one year non-O extension based on Thai Child. It expires on the 5th of this month and don't have enough time to renew it. So I was thinking to do a border run to get a new 45 day stamp. When I get to the border is the Non-O extension automatically cancelled or do I need to cancel it before I go?

Answer summary

When you leave Thailand for a border run without a re-entry permit, your Non-O extension will automatically become invalid upon departure. To preserve the extension, consider applying for a one-time 60-day family visit extension instead.

You should be able to get a one time 60 day visit Thai family extension to allow you some time.

This way you can still keep the visa.

Otherwise if you leave, without a reentry or it expires its done.

If you leave without a re-entry permit, the extension will become invalid when you are stamped out of Thailand.

Thank you. Your advise is correct. I don't have a reentry permit so once I leave my extension will cancel which is what I want to achieve. Much appreciated

expires In 2 days regardless of reentry permit, so would be a total waste of 1000baht.

. I'm sure you know that re entry permits expire the same day the extension does so I'm trying to understand your point here. Extension expired =re entry expired same time.

because if he leaves and already has a re-entry permit he won't be able to re-enter on visa exempt if it's not the 6th. Try thinking about other scenarios that may negatively effect people before typing an unhelpful response.

. Did you read it? What part of don't have enough time to renew it translates to " want it to end"??

A re entry permit is irrelevant to him now so why even mention it?
