Hi, I am moving to Thailand in July and have a non immigrant visa (single entry). I planned on visiting in a couple of weeks for 1 week. I am from the UK so do not require a visa for 1 week. I am wondering will visiting for 1 week impact my non immigrant visa?
TLDR : Answer Summary
A one-week visit to Thailand will require you to use your single-entry non-immigrant visa for entry. While you may not need a visa for a brief stay, the immigration system might still prompt you to use your existing visa when you arrive. If you enter on your non-immigrant visa, you'll receive a 90-day entry stamp. If you plan to apply for a one-year extension later, ensure your funds are in a Thai bank account for at least two months prior to your application. Additionally, obtaining a re-entry permit when leaving Thailand will help keep your entry status valid for your return.
