oldsailor35 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 There appears to be some confusion with this one, I came across it again last night where I was branded an idiot by someone who did not understand. I will state my own case. When I was last home in Oz I got my O-A for one year. During that year back in Thailand I received advice from Ubon Joe that if I left Thailand and returned just before my visa expired, I would get stamped in for a further 12 months. So I went to KL and returned about one week before the visa expired and low and behold, YES I got stamped in for a further 12 months. This can only be obtained with an O-A obtained in my home country. I hope that this clears it up and that someone will gain the benefit that I have.

ubonjoe Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Moved to here. Be sure you get a re-entry permit to keep that last entry valid if you want to travel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Joe, on your previous advice I did this and went on a trip to the UK and back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fee is 1000 baht for a single re-entry permit and 3800 baht for a multiple. You can also get one on departure from the country at either airport in Bangkok.

You are not alone. A mate in Jomtien needed a visa (run) agent to confirm what I explained him multiple times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
