I have a question on timing. I received a multiple-entry, non-imm. O-A Visa from the Thai embassy in Los Angeles which states that it is valid from November 5, 2020 to November 4, 2021. I entered Thailand on December 6, 2020 and was stamped to stay until December 2, 2021. I then left Thailand on June 3, 2021 to return home to get vaccinated.

I understand that I can return and be given another year from the date I return as long as I have insurance for that period. My question is when do I need to return by to take advantage of another year? I'm guessing I just need to return by December 2, 2021 but I wanted to make sure. Thanks in advance.
Answer summary
The return date to Thailand to take advantage of an additional year on your O-A Visa is by November 4, 2021. You must return before the expiry of your visa validity date to receive a new stamp and one-year extension, provided you have the necessary insurance coverage.

Up until November 4th you will be stamped in for twelve months, provided your insurance covers this period

No you need to return by November 4th. Your previous entry stamp is irrelevant. Your visa expires on the 4th so you need to enter by then. If you have the relevant insurance then you’ll get another 365 days. That entry however is not multiple entry so if you leave you’ll need a re-entry permit to keep the stamp alive.

That makes sense. Thanks for answering my question, I really appreciate it.
