Good afternoon everyone, sorry if this question has been asked ... I'm holding a 1 year working visa here in Thailand which the visas end 15/12/2025 ... If I leave the country and come back to Thailand will it affect the stamps?
Thanks in advance

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquired whether leaving Thailand would impact their one-year working visa, which is actually an extension of stay valid until December 15, 2025. Community members clarified that if the user holds an extension of stay rather than a visa, they must obtain a re-entry permit to leave and return to Thailand without losing their extension status. Options for obtaining this permit include purchasing a single or multiple re-entry at immigration offices or airports.
Okay just wanted to get back to everyone and let you know the O/P did indeed have an extension of stay not a visa
and
as they are in bangkok they know they can get a re-entry permit at Chaengwattana main office or at either Bangkok airport when they fly out
Thanx one and all for the comments (y)

I am doubtful you hold ANY visa at all ๐ฎ and it's far more likely you have a year-long "extension of stay" from an immigration office inside the country
Read your current stamp; it should say EXTENSION OF STAY PERMITTED UNTIL and have a date of Dec 15th 2025 ๐
If you indeed DO have an extension of stay, those are sold "no entry" <- meaning they do not have a re-entry permit attached) because you were already IN thailand when you got it stamped in your passport
That means if you want to exit/re-enter the country during this extension you need to BUY a re-entry permit from the Immigration office where the extension was issued OR you get one at the airport before you fly out (Suvarnabhumi / Don Mueang have
****
re-entry permit counters)
It is sold as a single re-entry for 1000baht <- meaning you can exit/re-enter one time, OR
as a multiple re-entry for 3800baht <- meaning you can exit/re-enter all you want until your current extension expires (Dec 15th, 2025)
