Can I re-enter Thailand on a new visa before my previous visa expires, and are there any time limits on the vaccination requirement?

Hi. If you get a new visa you can re-enter before the previous one expires, of course, right? ie a tourist one becomes void and irrelevant the second you leave...?

Actually in this case an extension of an exemption that does not mention number of entries allowed...!?

Also, the new jab entry requirement has no time limit on it, ie not in last 9 months or anything?

Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user inquired about re-entering Thailand on a new visa before the previous visa expires and whether a tourist visa becomes void upon departure. They also asked about the new vaccination requirements. Comments indicated that entering on a new visa is generally allowed if obtained from an embassy, and there seems to be no expiration for vaccinations based on previous regulations. The latest announcements also suggest no time limit for the vaccination requirements.

No time limit is mentioned in the latest announcement.

You should be fine to enter on a new visa if an embassy will sell you one.

We still don't know the specifics but in the past, vaccinations had no expiration date so it's likely to be the same this time.

every extension is zero entries. Only visas can be multiple entry.
