The M visa is not easy for us freelancers to get. But if you can show that you are actively working and provide links to your work it is possible. All applications are done through the MMOS website. Link and directions are here -> -Information-for-Foreign-Press.html

Also consider visiting and/or joining us at the Forign Correspondents Club. ( FCCThai.com ).

Yeah with a multi entry normally you wouldn't need a re-entry permit.

Probably have to explain your situation to them.

Good luck at immigration and safe travels when you do leave.

The re-entry permit keeps the admitted date alive. That is exatly what it is for.

I am on a 1 year extension (no visa) and have a multiple re-entry permit. I come and go for work assignments all the time.

Each time I stamp back in, the admitted until date is the one that was given on my extension.

The "enter before" date on the visa and the "admitted until" date you get stamped into your passport when you arrive are separate things. A re-entry permit keep that "admitted until" date alive. It does not add days or pause... only allows you to leave, return and stay to that date.

If you leave and re-enter a few days before the "enter before" date, you will get stamped in for another year.

So if your admitted until date is April next year and you buy a re-entry permit...as long as you return before That April date you are good.

Oh haha. I missed that one. You are always so on top of things!!

Oh.. well I'm no expert but an expired visa is useless

A new Visa might help but getting one does not guarantee you will be allowed to enter Thailand. And you still have to be ready to show all the stuff I mentioned above.

Post a photo of the visa with the personal info blocked out. But guessing since the person didn't actually enter Thailand, the visa is probably still good.

Maybe a different Immigration officer will see it differently, they will for sure see that stamp.

I'd make sure you have the proof of onward travel, hotel booking and the 20,000 Bhat cash (or equivalent) ready to show the officer.

That looks to be the denial of entry stamp. Based is section 12.3 which is the suspicion of working in Thailand illegally.

@Tod ********

can tell you for sure when he gets online.

According to my handy app, if you entered on January 14 the 90 day report is due on April 14.

So if you leave on the 13th you would be good.

Yup I got it printed and a scan copy on the phone.

Thanks a ton
