Hello,

I work in the UK in tourism and at the end of the early October I plan to return to Phuket and get a marriage visa.

I know I have to wait 3 months for my extension.

I was wondering when I apply for marriage visa if I do it with a multi entry permit can I leave Thailand and come back within that first 3 months.

The reason is my mother has been unwell and my wife and we would like to visit her in Australia ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ

Thanks in Advance ๐Ÿ™

TLDR : Answer Summary
You can leave Thailand during the 3-month waiting period for a marriage visa if you have a multi-entry permit. Just ensure you purchase a re-entry permit and return before your 90-day entry stamp expires to be eligible for applying for the 1-year extension.

Yes, you can purchase a re-entry permit and leave to keep your stamp alive. As long as you're back before your 90 day entry stamp runs out you'll be able to apply for the 1-year extension.
