Hi . On receipt of a single entry non immigrant typo o ( spousal ) visa from the embassy in london , I plan to arrive into Bangkok 1st week of November . Can I then immediately apply for a multiple entry visa if I need to travel out of Thailand ( as I will need to several timesduring the initial 90 days )

TLDR : Answer Summary
Upon arrival in Thailand on a single entry non-immigrant O (spousal) visa, you can apply for a multiple re-entry permit if you plan to travel frequently within the initial 90 days. The application for the multiple re-entry must be made at the immigration office or can be requested at the airport during your first exit. It's important to note that while a multiple re-entry permit, which costs 3800 Baht, will maintain your original 90-day stay, it does not extend your stay beyond the initial stamp you receive on entry.

keep in mind that a multiple re-entry permit (you dont buy a "multiple entry visa"!) for 3800 Baht only keeps the initial 90-days "admitted stay" permit valid. You do not gain any extra days on top of the 90 days you get stamped in on first entry

Yes or get at airport on first trip out

You can apply at the airport when you fly out. Or spend a few hours at CW and apply there.

Yes, but unless you’re planning to leave 4 times during the 3 months it may be worth just getting single entry when needed.
