I have a non-immigrant multiple entry b visa issued in the UK and valid for 12 months. My visa is based of the requirement of a UK company that i am in Thailand. I recently left thailand (and re-entered) a few days before the visa expired and got a final 90 day stamp that expires on September 26th. My return flight to the UK is September 20th, so all well and good.

However I need to do an overseas trip in august.

1). Can I get the 30 day visa waiver when i re-enter (even though the required 30 day exit date will be less than my original non-imm exit date).

2). Am I allowed to have 90 days of visa waivers after my non-immigrant b is over (i will probably need to do two visa runs to make my sept 20th flight).

Thanks for any knowledgable advice.

Mooshcat, you have two options:

1. border run for visa-exempt entry; one run or, if necessary, two runs

2. single-entry re-entry permit, obtainable from any Immigration office. This will keep your current permission to stay until 26 September alive. Cost: 1,000 Baht. Bring 2 passport photos.
