Extending Non-OA by leaving before due date

[glen 0]

Hi, My Non OA retirement visa extension expires 8 Feb 2020.  I'm having reservations about staying here for personal reasons. If I go to Cambodia or Lao or Malaysia in late January 2020 and return by first week of Feb 2020 to Don Muang does this mean I get another year? Or does the Feb 8 expiry date still apply?  Thanks in advance, Glen

You will need to have a Re-Entry permit to re-enter Thailand on the retirement extension. You will only be stamped in up to the date shown on the re-entry permit, which is the same as the permission on your extension.... 8th Feb 2020.

The Feb 8 expiry date still apply, unless you try to enter without a re-entry permit.

I'm sure I've read threads where people say you can get up to 2 years from an O-A?

Yes you can.

But I am not sure what the OP has since he wrote extension of a OA visa.

If he means his OA visa expires on February 8th he would get a new one year entry if he enters the country on or before that date.

If his visa has already expired and he is on the 2nd year he would need a re-entry permit to keep it valid but would only be stamped in until the February 8th using it.
