Hi guys ,

i am aware that i do not need a re-entry permit if i have a Multiple Entry Non Immigrant Visa (1 year visa)

but can i fly every 90 days to other countries instead of my own country ?

Many Thanks :)
Answer summary
Yes, you can travel to other countries every 90 days without returning to your home country on a Multiple Entry Non Immigrant Visa. Many expats commonly travel to nearby countries like Malaysia or Vietnam for this purpose. It is also possible to exit and re-enter Thailand through land borders, not just by flying.

I also go to Vietnam for that. As a German I get 2 weeks without visa. You should check if that applies to you as well. Flights are cheap as well. And I like the food much better than KL ;)

Inwiefern falsch? Er will wissen ob er zurück in sein Heimatland muss nach den 90 Tagen und ich hab gesagt, dass ich dafür immer nach Vietnam fliege. Und da brauch ich kein Visum zum einreisen, wenn weniger als 2 Wochen

I am talking about Vietnam, not Thailand. They guy already has a ME Visa for Thailand and is aking about leaving Thailand when his 90 days are up.

As a German u get 30 days on a flight in not 2 weeks.and can extend it for 30 days more here at the immigration for 1900 thb. But they check now how many times you have been in and out this year.....so maybe be better get the 60 day tourist next time and extend this......

most people use malaysia for activating another entry on a multi-entry visa because they don't need a visa to get into the country. I know people who fly to KL in the morning and right back on the next flight.

Not exactly a 90 day visa added to the end of the METV but rather another 60 day stay and then a 30 day Extension can be added. Terminology is important because it is what Thai Immigration and Consular officers use

thanks good info especially about the 90 day visa at end of 6 month METV

With a Thailand METV you don't need any sort of other document or permission to get into Thailand. Your passport will just be stamped as having entered. The METV gives you a 60 day stay every time you Exit and Reenter Thailand for the 6 month life of the METV - then an Exit and Reentry just before the Expiry date of the METV gives you another 60 days. You can get a 30 day Extension to any one or all of the 60 day stays. Or you a mix and match. When you go out of Thailand to a regional Embassy / Consulate and actually get the Non Imm O Visa 90 day visa the METV is finished and the Non Imm O visa is in use when you reenter Thailand.

BUT BACK TO Travel Costs. You need to check the airlines but air tickets, travel costs, hotel room fees, etc. to any regional country to get a Thailand Visa is much the same when flying out of Bangkok. Air Asia, Thai Lion Air, Bangkok Air and others fly to most all the regional capitals.

So what is the cheapest place outside of Thailand you can fly to . Have METV so just need to get visa on arrival . Coming back not issue .

Laos Visa on Arrival is 1600-1800 Baht (I forget exactly)

You have to apply for the Non Imm O single entry 90 day Thailand visa at a Thai Embassy/ Consulate. But this Non Imm O can be obtained in Bkk

No you have to buy the Foreign neighbor country Visa on Arrival. Malaysia - Penang has no fee. Penang can be reached by a flight from Bkk via Air Asia. Agents are there that can do it all for you while you make a walking tour of old Georgetown.

Would I still have to buy visa at the border for other country's or can I just u turn without paying for a foreign visa

If im not wrong

- Yes . .

Also an exit / reentry at a land border would be OK. (Unless you like flying of course)
