I had a Non-O multi entry visa based on marriage which expired and now I am on my 60 day extension for visiting Thai wife.

My parents are arriving next month and I they are able to get me a new Non-O visa in my home country without me being present.

So if I send them my passport and they bring it back I would have a new Non-O visa in it while never actually leaving Thailand.

Would this be an issue if I left Thailand once my extension is over with a new visa in my passport and then return and enter using that new visa via Bkk airport?

Anyone done this before?

It would be illegal!

How do you propose getting an entry stamp?

Immigration would look for the entry stamp as you depart!

Best you discard this idea (which would end with considerable difficulty) and plan a short trip to a nearby country to obtain a new visa.

Ok but what part is illegal? The consulate issuing visas without me being present?

I legally entered the country and I am legally here and I would exit legally before my extension expires.

The consulate will not issue a visa as you have not left Thailand.

The illegal part is you being in Thailand without a passport.

You are not the first or last person that has come up with this "brilliant" idea.

As you wish.

Why were you asking here if you believe everything is legal?

I doubt anyone will confirm what you are intending is anything other than illegal.

I await correction, not from you, but one or more of the knowledgeable members here.

Relax I was not attacking you i was just asking. I do not believe everything is legal that is why I asked which part is illegal.

Ok I understand now. Forgot about the exit stamp for the consulate hehe

Thanks. Was just an idea I do have other plans but just had that "brilliant" idea so wanted to check
