Visa renewal question. I know I've seen this in here before but can't find it.

My Non Imm OA visa was issued in March 2020 however for obvious reasons didn't get here until October and passport is stamped until October 2021.

My question is do I have to renew my visa in March or October of 2021
Answer summary
The user is seeking clarification on the renewal process for their Non Imm OA visa, which was issued in March 2020 but was only stamped in October 2020. Responses indicate that the user does not renew a visa but applies for an extension when the stamp expires, which in this case is in October 2021, following the expiration of the original visa in March 2021. Additionally, mentions of a reentry permit for travel after the visa expiration suggest ways to maintain legal status.

After March when your visa has expired and you wish to leave Thailand you’d need to buy a reentry permit which would keep your stamp valid until October 2021.

Although in the extremely unlikely scenario a land border will open before your visa expires, you can bounce out/in and get stamped in for another twelve months. But highly unlikely

You don't renew a visa. You apply for an extension when your stamp runs out.

You can't renew a visa ... you can apply for an extension of stay. Oct is the date you're looking at. Just keep an eye on your bank balances!

He only needs a re-entry permit after the visa expires in march 2021. He could leave and re-enter in march 2021 and get stamped in untill march 2022.

@Steve ********
and on the bank balance, how long does the money have to have been in your thai bank account? 800,000 yes?

@Robert *****
if you're doing it on that basis, 800,000 for up to 2 months before and up to 3 months after ... but must NEVER fall below 400,000 through the year.

Robert Fyfe. Two months before you apply for extension
