ORIGINAL POSTER

If I have a 90 days Non-Immigrant O Visa being over 50 when traveling to Thailand and also later getting a 1 year Extension at my local Immigration Office in Saraburi.

Then I buy a reentry permit and leave for Sweden for a couple of months.

Is there a maximum amount of days I can be outside Thailand to not lose my 1 year Extension or can I reenter whenever I want as long it is before the end date?

Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary

You can leave Thailand for an extended period on a 1-year Non-Immigrant O Visa extension as long as you return before the extension's expiration date. There are no specific limits on how long you can be outside the country; you just need to ensure that you come back on or before the last day of your extension.

You just need to be back in Thailand on or before the last day of your current extension. Hopefully, several days before to have enough time to prepare necessary documents. There is no rule on how long you can be out of Thailand with a valid extension.

Theoretically, you can re-enter Thailand again on the last day (early enough) with a valid re-entry permit then go to the local immigration office straight to apply for a new extension within the working hours or queueing time if you have everything you need to apply.
