RE-ENTRY NON-O (+ extension)

Hi, am currently on a 90 day Non-O visa (not extended yet) but need to go abroad for work. Will apply for a re-entry permit at DMK before I leave.  

I will apply for the non-o extension (based on my wife's work permit) after I come back in June. Was wondering if it makes sense to get the multiple re-entry permit already – as in- will it also be valid for the visa extension I'm about to get? Or will the non-o extension 'reset' the re-entry permit and I'll have to get a new one anyway?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The post discusses a query about the validity of a re-entry permit when transitioning from a 90-day Non-O visa to a longer extension based on a spouse's work permit. The responses clarify that a re-entry permit applies only to the current visa stamp, and a new re-entry permit will need to be obtained after the visa is extended. For continued travel after the extension, a multiple re-entry permit should be applied for.

okay, so you're going to get a single re-entry permit NOW on the 90 day Non-O visa you have so that you can come back within those 90 days and apply for the yearly extension..

When you come back, you'll be stamped in for the expiration date you have on your entry stamp of your Non-O now. Then when you get your yearly extension of stay you will apply for a new re-entry permit (which will be good for the whole year the extension is good for).. <- After you get your year extension is when you want to apply for a multiple re-entry permit.

A re-entry permit is only for the current stamp in your passport, not for future possible extensions.
