Non-B expiring whilst out of country

[sikishrory]

What happens in the scenario that you are out of the country and your non-b  (with multi-re-entry permit) expires / finishes as opposed to having it cancelled before leaving.

Done and dusted? Any complications for future applications or entries?

Thanks that thread is quite similar although a slightly different scenario.

For me I want to apply for and re-enter on a DTV after the non-b has fully expired.

Still helpful. Thank you

I will copy what I answered on the other post for you here;

 

Yes your extension may well expire whilst outside, and yes you can enter on a new DTV

 

BUT

 

If you do not cancel the Non-B extension before you go, expect a 20k fine when you next visit immigration for an extension.

 

You signed form STM2 acknowledging the terms.

Thanks for the answer. 

A 20k fine for which extension do you mean?

The fine will be for not cancelling your previous extension

Oh right this is answer is in 2 threads. I was confused for a moment and answered twice

So by this rationale if someone was to leave Thailand on a non-b but forget to buy a re-entry and try to come back on any visa or exempt they too would get a 20k for forgetting the re-entry permit?

Based on this:

Yes, if they later needed an extension.

Is this fine official, ie does immigration give a receipt for it?

Yes, it is charged at the same rate as overstay, (but it is not an overstay charge), and yes you will receive a receipt, therefore allowing you to apply for a new extension.
