ORIGINAL POSTER
Looking for firsthand experience only, please.

I'm on a Non OA visa with a permission to stay expiring in June 2026. I'm considering the departure and re-entry method to extend my stay, arriving back into Thailand with a renewed health insurance policy valid through June 2027.

Has anyone personally done this through Chiang Mai Airport or Suvarnabhumi and been granted a new permission to stay matching the insurance expiry date? If so, which airport and how recently?

Not looking for general opinions on whether it should work, only interested in hearing from people who have actually done it. Thanks.
