I have accepted a job in Laos but will be making regular trips back home to Thailand.

Is there any reason why I cannot apply for a Thai multipul entry visa?

Answer summary

The user inquires about the ability to apply for a multiple-entry Thai visa while working in Laos. Responses indicate that eligibility depends on the user's current visa status and relationship to Thailand, specifically noting that a Non-O visa for marriage could be an option. Additional advice includes the possibility of obtaining a 6-month multiple-entry tourist visa if not eligible for the year-long Non-O visa.

if you do not qualify for a year-long multi-entry Non-O visa (retirement/married to a thai) you could apply for a 6 month METV <- that visa is issued to foreigners who work legally in Lao and it specifically states on the Vientiane thai consulate website what you need to provide to qualify for that visa. That gives you unlimited entries of 60 days during the 6 months it's valid for.

posted on another forum this helpful information on what is needed for your Non O multi-entry Visa as Married to Thai... applied for in the Savannakhet Thai Embassy

"Minimal documentation for that visa

...copies of the marriage certificates,

...your wifes thai i/d,

...her house book listing,

...the data page of your passport,

...2 passport photos

...a filled out application

...5000baht

They only list 90 day single entry but believe me that consulate will sell the year long, multi-entry no issues, just write MULTIPLE ENTRY and ONE YEAR on the top right corner where you mark Non-Imm visa and pay them 5000baht .

It is available, you just need to meet this requirement: Multiple-Entry Tourist Visa will only be granted to Lao nationals or those with proof of permanent residence in Laos.
