What happens to my O-A visa and entry stamp if I return to Thailand after September 5, 2023?

Sorry to have taken your post and chopped it up

@Paul *******

, let me know if I got anything wrong (and CHECK your message requests 🙂 )

𝗜𝗳 𝗜 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗺𝗽 𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝟯𝟬 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁 ?

Doesn't matter when you come back you'll only get stamped in until the end of this current entry stamp

That's because IF you indeed bought an OA visa from the thai consulate in your country before you came here it's valid only for a year from the date it's issued <meaning it would have ran out Oct 2022 (seeing as it was issued Oct 2021). You entered in Sept 2022 just before the visa itself ran out and as you had new insurance you were stamped in for a year. 🙂 The most time you can get out of an OA visa (working the entry stamps correctly is 2 years (which you did 🙂 )

Nope, they will not, those year entry stamps are given because you have a valid VISA in your passport and if your visa expired on Oct 2022 you are only here on an entry stamp, SO

If you want to leave/come back you would need to buy a re-entry permit first, then when you came back you would only get stamped in for the duration of this current stamp Sept 5th 2023

𝗜𝗳 𝗜 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁 𝟱𝘁𝗵 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯 𝗱𝗼 𝗜 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗢-𝗔 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗮 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗜 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗹.

I would say when you leave in April, just leave without any re-entry permit, let the current entry stamp you're on cancel when you stamp out and buy another OA visa from the thai consulate in your country before you come back (with new insurance) so you get stamped in for a whole new year (or as long as the insurance is valid for up to a year)

Paul just tried to post it and I denied it & messaged him about it too 😉

I edited it for clarity and will post it here
