If I have a Non-0 ME, and it says "enter before March 20 2018" and I leave the country on March 15th and come back on March 18th, does this mean I will get a 90 day extension? OR will I have to get a new Visa? OR will they only give me 2 days extension?
Answer summary
A multiple entry Non-O visa allows for re-entries until its expiration date. As long as you re-enter Thailand before the expiration date of March 20, 2018, you will receive another 90-day permission of stay. Exiting on March 15 and re-entering on March 18 is acceptable and will grant you the full 90 days. Entering after the expiration date will result in a different visa status.

A multiple entry non O visa allows multiple entries (as many as you wish) until its expiry date. Every time you enter you receive a permission of stay of 90 days. The last day you can reenter Thailand is March 20th, and you would receive a 90 day permission of stay. After March 20th, the visa expires. If you enter on March 21st and you do not have a visa, you will receive a visa exempt permission of stay of 30 days.

Luke Thomas Thanks for taking the time to answer. I was worried about leaving the countrie with the 30 days exempt permission of stay and then having problems to come back. My flight departs from here

Nestor Garcia Yes, every time you enter visa exempt you receive 30 days, whether at land borders or via air. Not that the maximum number of visa exempt entries allowed at land borders is 2 per calendar year. There is no limit when flying in, although people have reported being questioned on their 5th or 6th visa exempt entry and told to apply for a visa. Also, a visa exempt entry can be extended once at local Immigration for another 30 days, at a cost of 1,900 baht.

I don't know what you mean by reactivate sorry. The last day he can enter on his multiple entry non O is March 20th, and if he does enter on March 20th or anytime before that he will get a permission of stay of 90 days. There is no activation or reactivation.

Yes, actually he can re-activate his visa by 90 more days.

Marco Corallo sorry im picky about the terminology, but it's not an extension. It's a permission of stay. He can get an extension of that permission of stay after that if he wants,at local Immigration, or he can get a new ME non O visa.

Yes. Re-entering before 20th gives you 90 days

90 days regardless whether you exit and reenter by land or air.
