Can I apply for a multiple entry visa after receiving a single entry non-immigrant visa in Thailand?
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 )
Answer summary
The user plans to arrive in Bangkok on a single entry Non-O visa and is inquiring about the possibility of applying for a multiple entry visa immediately upon arrival, as they anticipate needing to travel out of Thailand several times within the initial 90 days. The community responses confirm that while it's possible to apply for a multiple re-entry permit, it is generally advised to consider whether it is truly necessary. Additionally, there are instructions on how to apply for the re-entry permit and the associated costs and documentation required.

OPHi . Thanks all for your responses . I submitted the online application on the 1st . Got an email on the 3rd asking for colour copies of the my Thai marriage certificate and wife’s Thai id . No further communication or update since the 3rd : it has been 8 working days since the 3rd. I assume this is well within the advertised time to consider. When should I start getting worried

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

Hi Graham. Umm, are you sure ? I thought I read in another group they only do single entry. But.......I really don't know 🤷♂️Peter ****************

I believe Phuket only does single but I think at Bangkok you can get both

You’ll loose a page in your passport for each re entry just pay for the multi re entry

@Hardev ******
You can apply at the airport when you fly out. Or spend a few hours at CW and apply there.Stuart *********
Yes, but unless you’re planning to leave 4 times during the 3 months it may be worth just getting single entry when needed.
