Queries on applying for re-entry permit

[topt]

I converted my visa waiver to Non O and then extension of stay at the same time but was told I could apply for the rentry permit after and not as part of this process.

So Non 0 dated 2nd Jan to 1st April 2014 and then extension has a date of 1 APR 2015.

Can someone just clarify the following please -

If i apply for a multiple reentry permit now when would this expire - I am planning to leave sometime in the next month/6 weeks for a number of weeks?

On the TN8 form it asks for dates when you are planning to leave Thailand. As I have not finalised my trip can I just leave this blank?

Also to answer the question - "My previous visa..." - do i use the "Non O" or "Others" for the extension or even still use details from my visa waiver entry on 20th December?

Finally how much space does the rentry permit take in the passport - I may only go for a single as opposed to a multiple as I need to renew my passport when in the UK as only 2 pages left.

Thanks

The re-entry permit will be valid until 1 April 2015.

You will check mark non immigrant and use info for visa you got at immigration on form. Use Jan. 2nd for entry date.

You can use whatever dates you want for the departure and return date. They will not be on the stamp.

Stamp is about half a page.

Thanks ubonjoe but just to be clear you say use Jan 2nd as entry date even though my TM6 departure card is stamped 20th December and that is when I actually arrived?

The entry stamp you got when you got your visa is your latest entry. That is the one one they will look for and want a copy of.
