Not sure what you mean by "based on Family", though anyway, no 30-day extension is available for Non-O entry.

You have to apply for 1-year extension based on the same reason as your initial visa by meeting all requirements.

OR

Only IF you have a Thai family (wife or child), you can apply for a 60-day visiting Thai family extension.

You can apply for either extension anytime now as you already have less than 30 days with your stamp.

, nationality doesn't matter in this case. The embassy letter is not applied for this when the applicant uses the monthly income method for proof of funds while working legally in Thailand with WP.

For example. this is the sign at Gate 3, after you go through the passport control.

There is only one re-entry counter at Suvarnabhumi airport and it's located at the International Departure Gate 2, after security screening on upper floor, on the same floor of passport control. The easiest is going through the Gate 2.

If you through other departure gate, you have to tell to the officer at passport control that you need re-entry permit, then you have to go to all the way to Gate 2 from air side to get re-entry permit after you are stamped out.

It's the day of your application for an extension.

You have to have your funds in your Thai bank account for minimum two months when you submit paperwork for your next extension based

You can, as long as you are leaving Phuket by international flight(s). The re-entry counter is after security screening. Ask the officer around if unmanned.

Indian passport holders currently can enter Thailand on visa-exempt scheme for 60 days for free. You only need a valid passport.

But, it might be a good idea to have proof of accommodation and an onward travel ticket within 60 days from arrival.

The Chaengwattana office in Bangkok may or may not issue a re-entry permit on a long-term extension that is issued by another office. Some offices don't issue in that case. Sorry, I'm not sure whether CW does.

You are on 1-year extension, not on the initial visa any more.

Yes, you need to get a re-entry permit (single or multiple re-entry) BEFORE you leave to keep your current extension stamp valid when you leave Thailand and back.

You can apply for a re-entry permit either at the departure airport when you fly out or local immigration office.

You can apply for one at Suvarnabhumi Airport. Go to the International Departure Gate 2. There is a counter on the same floor with passport controls.

Put 20-30 mins for re-entry permit at the airport.
