Will extending my 90-day Non-O visa to a year invalidate my re-entry permit for Cambodia?

ORIGINAL POSTER

Realize I may have done something foolish. I am here right now on my 90 day non-O (retirement). I've just paid for a re-entry permit for a 4 day jaunt to Cambodia next month and realized that before that trip, it will be time for me to extend my 90 day to a year. Will doing that extension invalidate the re-entry permit I just had stamped in? Will I need to purchase another? Thanks all.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is currently on a 90-day Non-O retirement visa and has purchased a re-entry permit for a short trip to Cambodia. They are concerned about whether extending their visa to a year before the trip will affect the validity of their existing re-entry permit. Responses indicate that as long as the user returns before the re-entry permit expires, it should remain valid, allowing for a smooth transition upon re-entry with the new extension.

I will say a friend of mine had a yearly extension and a re-entry permit, he went and got a new extension but didn't get a re-entry. The immigration office said he could use the old re-entry permit as long as he got back before it expired (nothing to do with the extension) and when he came back he was stamped in on the new extension using the old re-entry permit

SO I would imagine it'd be the same for you, as long as you get back in to the country before that re-entry permit expires it'd work.

Seeing as you're getting a yearly extension before you leave ASK THEM while you're there, the last thing you wanna do is lose the Non-O visa/extension just because you didn't buy a new 1000baht single re-entry permit

good question, I would ask the immigration office when you get the year extension.

I would imagine that as long as you return BEFORE the re-entry permit expires you'll get stamped in on year extension when you come back.

I entered on a reentry permit in August, 2022, with one day remaining and was stamped in at BKK for one day. Next day I flew to CNX and got my annual extension.

Thanks Tod, but the dates for my return (from Cambodia/Feb 15) and the end of my visa (Feb 17) are too tight (for my comfort). I would prefer to extend my non O prior to leaving for my jaunt to Cambodia - so I feel as though, the entry permit will expire. I will ask when i do to the office for the extension of Non-O - thanks again!

While you are at immigration extending, ask if the permit will expire with the extension.
