Visa Number on Re-Entry

I recently returned to Thailand from a short holiday in Oz. I filled out the arrival card and, where it asked for the Visa number, I put the number of my Non Immigrant O visa that was issued to me about 3 years ago in Oz, the one that I get annual extensions for.

Anyway, I gave my passport to the IO and he handed it back and said I had the wrong visa number on the card, turns out I should have put the number from my re-entry permit on the card.

Is he right?

Yes he is correct. That O-visa had expired many moons back.

You never left and returned on your original visa ,you left and returned on a Re-Entry Permit which was issued on the basis of a yearly permission to stay .
A Re-Entry Permit has a number and when arriving back into Thailand, you must note the re-entry permit number on the Immigration arrivals card .

It takes a while but you will catch on.:D My last visa was an O-Multy based on marriage from KL in 2011. In 2012 I did my last border hop hear at Chong Chom and got my final 90 day extension (15 months total). The last 45 days of that final extension of my O-visa I started the conversion over to a marriage extension at Korat, KCI was not opened YET. For the past 5 years I have been 5 extensions based on marriage. The last time I departed Thailand was 2013 and when I returned it was the number of the Re-entry Permit that I put on the TM-6.:rolleyes:
