@John *******

the main difference is that you're not allowed to work via a work permit. But that doesn't affect the application process.

There seems to be a contradiction whereby you need a re-entry permit to stop an extension of stay based on employment being cancelled when you leave the country yet you need to actively cancel it at immigration when your job finishes to prevent a fine when you re-enter the country.

it's a destination thailand visa visa. Like TMB Bank was Thai Military Bank Bank.

@Ellie ******

thanks but that's the wrong way round. I'm currently on a marriage extension, ending in September

@Tod ********

thanks

@Ellie ******

It sounds like there is a should or should not. I want the multiple re-entry permit validity to begin at the same time as the new 12 month extension, which should be obvious from the context of my question. Therefore it sounds like I should not apply for it at the same time as I apply for that 12 month extension, because it will be provided immediately rather than being tied to the 12 month extension application and processed and commenced concurrently with it

@Jennifer ****************

but you have to do it anyway. Why wait 30 more days and waste 1900 baht before you do it

@Robert ******

if they ask you to do that, it means you need to provide all of the financial documents again when receiving the additional 11 months stamp?

@Tod ********

could you please clarify this? As it seems to contradict the purposes of obtaining a re-entry permit to prevent an o extension from being cancelled by leaving the country. I left the country near to the end of my retirement extension without cancelling it. Its expiry date has now passed and I have re-entered the country. I don't understand how this can negatively affect me when I apply for a new non-o. Thanks.

@Tod ********

thanks but I still don't understand. You say that you need 800,000 baht in the bank two months before applying for the one year extension. But what do you need in the bank when applying for the initial three month non-o? And when? And can you take it out again for one month before needing it back in there two months before applying for the extension?
