PeteUT Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Entered Thailand on a non 0-A in August. Issued in USA in late July. I have a chance to go to Lao with some friends in a few days. I don't want to screw up the Non O-A visa, do I need to get a re-entry permit? Did a 90 day a few weeks ago. My concern is triggering the second year of stay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. If issued in July 2019 it can be used for entry until July 2020. 2 minutes ago, PeteUT said: My concern is triggering the second year of stay You will get a new 1 year stay when re-entering after your trip, and any future entries until July 2020. If you want to maximise the visa you should make a final entry in July 2020, just before the visa expires. Once your visa expires (Post 7/20) you need a Re-entry Permit to protect that final stay. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteUT Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 Any reports of Nong Khai mangling stuff like this? I don't want to go that badly, but would if it was not much hassle. I feel safer not intentionally putting myself in fumbling hands. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have also been posts where people given 30 days have been able to return and have their stamps corrected to one-year Permissions. Nothing is 100% sure here! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 35 minutes ago, jackdd said: Sure? I replied to the post about that in the topic where it was posted. My question was did the person notice the 30 day stamp before leaving the airport. I suspect it would of been correct it they did. Probably a officer not knowing what the rules are. No much info about it in that 2nd or 3rd hand report on facebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is within the first 12 months of a Non OA visa, he automatically gets stamped in for 12 months during the first year. He only needs a re entry permit if he leaves just before the expiry date and gets a further 12 months. The re entry permit keeps this date alive.

In any case a re entry is not needed. You again have just proved your ignorance I am afraid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the wording should be "may need a reentry permit". I just returned on a 1st year O-A with only the O-A's ME and had no issue getting the full year stamp at DMK. So it is obviously hit and miss. Also, the other important word for several of the recent posters here is "CIVILITY" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
