TLDR : Answer Summary
A friend holding a multi-entry Non-O visa valid until February 29, 2019, can re-enter Thailand on or before the expiration date to receive a new 90-day entry stamp. No re-entry permit is needed as long as the re-entry occurs before the visa expiration.

and I believe we've sussed out that IF the O/P's UK passport holding friend with the year-long, multi-entry Non-O visa in it, re-enters thailand on or before the VISA itself expires he'll get stamped in for 90 more days.

BUT

He couldn't have a visa that expires on Feb 29th because this year February doesn't have 29 days :(

I'd tell him to check the expiration date ;)

He'll get another 90 days as long as re enters on or before the 28th Feb, there is no 29th Feb this year. He wont need a re entry permit.

As I said, as long as he re enters on or before the 28th he'll get stamped in for 90 days, after that date the visa has expired and he would only get a 30 day visa exempt entry.

If there were 29 days in February then he could have re entered on the 29th. Im suprised the visa says 29th!

I guess if there were 29 days he’d have to leap across the border

Bob D'Andrea has to re enter, although he could leave and re enter on the 28th

If the valid until or enter before date on this Multiple Entry Non Immigrant O visa is 29 Feb 2019, he can leave and enter Thailand again just before or on that day to get a new 90 day Admitted to Stay.

it is a one year, multi-entry Non-O visa <- it has a re-entry permit built into it for as long as the visa is valid
