Hello,

I got my non o visa based on marriage on the thai e-visa website via London UK.

I’m so very happy about this and also grateful from all the feedback I have had from you all to help me.

Thank you to you all.

My visa says it’s valid from July 13th to October 10th 2025.

And it’s got me thinking.

I planned to return on September 25th 2025 at the end of my season for several months.

However I thinking of a quick trip earlier as I’ve mentioned in my previous posts I work in the tourism industry which is very slow in the UK with sales down this year.

Hence I have no work from July 30th to August 17th 2025.

And I have already booked flights to return at the end of the season to enter Thailand on September 25th 2025 to stay for 6-7 months.

Can I do the following as I don’t want to wait in London without work for 17 days from July 31st to mid August & I’d rather be with my wife.

Fly to Thailand entering on July 31st 2025 for 2 weeks of August.

Apply for my visa extension in those first 2 weeks of August.

Then fly back to the UK to work with a reentry permit.

And return to Thailand entering on September 25th 2025 for my long stay.

When do I have to season the 400,000baht in a thai bank account?

(I already have an SCB bank account now)

Is it on the day I plan to I arrive back August 31st?

Or should it be before that in my case?

Also an extra question after I arrive back on September 25th 2025 can I use another re-entry permit to visit my mother who has been unwell in Australia in mid October as it is her and my birthday then?

Is any of this possible?

Thank you so much 🙏

Can someone please confirm that a re-entry permit can be purchased and used for a 90 day Non-O visit Thai family visa. I may need to leave and re-enter within the 90 days. I do understand that the visa will still expire 90 days after first entry.

ReEntering Thailand with a single entry permit on a retirement visa does anyone know what stamps get put in your passport

I know the Re-Entry will get stamped USED but what about the remaining length of my stay what stamp do they use for that

I have a question and could use some advice:

I am coming to Thailand for 3 months or so.......within the first 2 months I am going to fly to the Philippines for 2 weeks and then return to Thailand for the rest of my stay.

Q: Do I need to get an extension prior to leaving for the Philippines? or do I need a certain VISA? or will I just reset my 60 days upon arriving back?

Hi I am here on a multiple entry tourist visa valid for 6 months starting 2nd June. I am going to Laos via the friendship bridge for a week and was wondering if I need to apply for a re entry permit at the border.

Thanks

Good morning all. Trying to get some confirmation that I'm ok with the following.

I currently have a 90day non O retirement visa which i obtained in Laos.

It expires on September 2.

I have the Thai bank account and the phone requirement.

I was intending to extend for twelve Months. However I now have to return to UK for approx 4 to 6 months.

I now plan to leave Thailand on or just before current visa expires.

I will retain Thai bank account and phone.

I then intend to apply for another non o 90 day retirement visa in the UK from the Thai embassy in London on the e visa system when I come back to Thailand in four to six months.

Does anyone know if this would be likely to be refused or know if doing two non o 90 day retirement visas is a problem or is it it safer to extend before I leave which of course is a bit of a waste of the one year extension as would leave just after it starts.

I know if I extend before I leave I have to get re entry stamp before I go .

Hope I made that clear lol.

Many thanks for any comments

Hello everyone,

Planning to extend Non-Immigrant O retirement visa (which expires on 10 September) in Bangkok for an additional 12 months.

Hoping to questions:

1. If I apply for the extension 30 days before the expiry date, will the 12-month extension be added from the original expiry date (10 September), or from the date I submit the application?

2. What happens to my current multi re-entry permit during this process?

3. I am planning to travel outside of Thailand and depart before 10 September. If I return before or after the current multi-entry visa expiry date, how will that affect the process and the re-entry permit?

Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated. I've been reading and getting more confused. Thank you!

Three extension of stay questions: I enter Thailand with a non O visiting Thai family with the intention of applying for the 12 month extension of stay. I am aware that immigration offices accept applications either 30 or 45 days before the non O expires.

1. If I need to leave Thailand and return (with a re-entry permit), obviously before my non O expires, what is the latest date that I can apply for EOS?

2. If the under consideration period goes beyond the expiry date of my visa, is there a danger of going on overstay?

3. Could leaving Thailand and returning as in question 1 above detrimentally affect the approval of EOS?

TIA

Hey all! Thank you for this amazing group for easing my mind always😩

Got a non-o trailing- spouse extension and this re-entry permit for Chaeng Wattana.

I’m traveling out of Thailand for a few weeks, anything else I need to do ? (So I can come back on the extension haha)

Hello all, I have been living in Thailand since May 2023 on a Retirement Visa. I just got my new 12 month extension in May this year and the lady at Immigration pointed out that my passport runs out in March 2026 so she could only stamp me in until then. I am going for a quick trip back to my home country Australia very soon , I have a re-entry stamp in my passport now and was going to get a new passport while I’m in Australia which brings me to the question, What can I expect upon my return to Thailand regarding my old passport with the current Visa stamp and re-entry permit? Is there something I should do before go to Australia?
