What is the procedure for using a re-entry permit on a Non-OA visa in Thailand?

During the first year just leave and come back and get stamped in for another year after the visa expires you’ll need to buy re entry

Okay, OP has a VALID Non-OA e-Visa from the consulate in his own country. This Non-OA itself is valid until 28 February 2025. He can enter Thailand until 28 February 2025 without doing anything, including getting a re-entry permit.

During that,

As his current insurance policy is valid until 8 April 2025, he will be stamped in until 8 April 2025 every time he enters Thailand. When he gets a new insurance valid after the current one, he will be stamped in for 365 days or until the new insurance policy expires.

Technically and possibly, he can get a 365-day stamp starting 28 February 2025 for the last time to use this visa.

If he is in Thailand with an entry stamp valid after 28 February 2025 and wants to get out and back to Thailand using the remaining days of this stamp, this is the time he needs to apply for a re-entry permit BEFORE he leaves Thailand.

I tried to reply to @Todd Capron, but I can't tag them 🙁 (I think they have me blocked)

@ Brandon **********

e had the correct answer to him though

I believe that Todd is confusing two completely different things

One is a year extension with a multiple re-entry permit that you get from the immigration office here. That allows you to exit/re-enter and get stamped in until the expiration date of the extension each time during the year

That is not what the O/P has 😮 They have a year-long, multi-entry Non-Immigrant Type OA (Long Stay) visa issued from a thai consulate in their country before they came here

That visa is valid for a year from the date it's issued, it's good for unlimited entries to thailand, each entry is good for a whole new year entry stamp or for as long as the mandatory 100K USD insurance policy is good for up to a year.

They are completely different animals 😮

The only thing you need to do is check they notice the visa when you return and make sure they don't give you a normal 30 day stamp when you come back in. They can make mistakes, so always check before you leave the immigration booth.

So would that mean everytime you re-enter you would need to show the E-visa pdf again as no visa stuck in the passport anymore ?

I have same and make freq trips to USA. You do nothing. You can exit at will. When you return your valid stay remains until 8 april 2025 each time. Keys is that you have a multi entry stamp. Enjoy Songkran

Until your Non-Oa expires every time you enter Thailand you will be stamped in for 12 months or until the end of your current insurance if shorter

When does the actual OA VISA expire the PDF ? Seeing as that image you posted is just an entry stamp and it clearly says eVisa 😉

As long as you re-enter the country on or before the date the visa itself expires you get stamped in for a new year entry stamp (or as long as your insurance is valid for up to a year)
