Hello, Iโ€™m currently on a non-B that expires June 2023, but am going to Indonesia next week for a few days. Any idea what I need to do to avoid invalidating my visa? And can I do this early at the airport on my departure day? I have an early flight around 7 AM. Or maybe sorting this out a few days beforehand at the airport? Any advice much appreciated! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user has a Non-B visa expiring in June 2023 and is traveling to Indonesia. They seek advice on avoiding visa invalidation and inquire about obtaining a re-entry permit. Comments suggest checking the visa's stamp for its type (potentially an 'Extension of Stay') and inform that re-entry permits can be purchased at the immigration office or at the airport, including 24/7 counters at international airports.

and this Non-B that expires in June 2023 you got where? From a thai consulate in your country before you came here OR from the immigration office inside thailand?

I ask because I really think IF you look at your stamp you're on what's called an "Extension Of Stay" and the stamp says "extension of stay permitted until with the June 2023 date on it

If that's the case you can GO to the immigration office where you got that stamp before the date of your flight and buy a re-entry permit OR you can get one at the airport on the day you fly out, after you check in.

The international airports all have re-entry permit counters that run
