Maestro Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 If you got a re-entry permit before you left Thailand this re-entry permit states that you are allowed to enter Thailand not later than 29 September. There is no calculation of 180 days done. The extension stamp in your passport does not by itself allow you to enter Thailand. Only the re-entry permit issued on the basis of that extension stamp gives you this permission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolt Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 I have a multi entry exit permit with the same date of September 29th. However in my experience in travelling around the world and having many different visas and residency, I’ve found if out of the country for 6 months normally the visa is cancelled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I am sure you have a multiple re-entry permit that you could use until September 29th to enter the country. There is no limit on the amount of time you can be out the country other that than the day it expires. You need to contact the Thai embassy in the country you are in to apply for certificate on entry and etc need to board a repatriation flight. You need to start the process soon to insure you can enter prior to September 29th and still have enough time to apply for a new extension. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poster you quoted is not currently in Thailand. When he has a chance to return to Thailand he should be able to reapply for a Non-O conversion as he did before ...though, what additional steps or requirements may be added to acquire one again is still to be determined. His comment does not apply to Non-O holders currently still in Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
