Can I obtain a 90-day Non-O visa in Thailand without leaving the country after losing my Non-OA visa's validity due to not having a reentry permit?

And what I can't do is baby sit this post until the O/P comes on and reads the comments.

I think we're done, thanx one and all for the comments

Good luck to the O/P

Know that they CAN indeed apply for a new 90 day Non-O visa at the immigration office in Pattaya for 2000baht from the free entry stamp they're now on after they lost their OA entry stamp 🙂

😮 😮 Wow sorry that happened,

You weren't "renewing" anything, you were simply getting a new year entry stamp (or as long as your insurance was valid for) by bouncing out and back before the visa expired. That's what gave you that "second year" entry stamp

Sadly, once you got that "free second year" on the OA visa (when you entered just before it ran out) you would have needed a re-entry permit to keep that year stamp valid.

That's because the multiple entry permit was IN the original visa and when it expired so did the re-entry ability. By not doing that when you stamped out of the country you cancelled that entry stamp 🙁

They were totally correct in stamping you in on a free 60 day entry stamp.

You live in Pattaya so you can't come to bangkok and apply for that visa/extension AND there's no need for you to do that anyway. They issue those down in Jomtien too.

There is no issue at all going to the immigration office in Pattaya where you live, getting the hand out listing the requirements of the 90 day Non-O visa (that's all that's sold inside the country), applying for it for 2000baht, waiting the 2 week under consideration period, going back getting the Non-O visa and new 90 day stamp inked in.

After that you wait until you have 30 day or less left on that stamp to apply for the year extension for 1900baht. Extensions are issued on the spot and as soon as you get the extension inked in you'd by a Multiple Re-Entry Permit for 3800baht which would let you exit/re-enter the whole year (and not lose the stamp 😉 )

Happens to a lot of people, but as you meet the requirements you shouldn't have any issue switching from the free stamp to first the 90 day Non-O and then 2 months later the year extension w/re-entry permit

Sorry that happened, good luck in the process (y) Go to the Jomtien immigration office and get the list of documents, you need to apply for the 90 day Non-O visa, take it a step at a time, get that visa out of the way and when you go back to get it inked in after the 2 week waiting period get the list of documents you need to get the yearly extension two months down the road
