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

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
