What should I do since I forgot to get a re-entry permit before leaving Thailand on a type O visa extension?

The original poster (O/P) forgot to obtain a re-entry permit before departing Thailand, resulting in the loss of their ongoing type O visa extension based on marriage. Commenters clarified that the extension is invalidated upon exiting without a re-entry permit. The suggested options for the O/P include entering Thailand on a visa-exempt basis as a New Zealand passport holder for 45 days and then applying for a new 90-day Non-O visa. Following this, they will be able to apply for a yearly extension and obtain a re-entry permit for future travels. Overall, the conversation emphasized the importance of securing a re-entry permit to avoid complications.
