Can my friend apply for a 1-year multi-entry visa or a 90-day visa upon entering Thailand on a 30-day visa?
My friend will travel from the uk on a 30 day visa can he apply for 1 yr multi entry visa when he gets to Thailand.
Or can he get 90 day visa.
Or can he get 90 day visa.
Answer summary
A traveler from the UK arriving in Thailand on a 30-day visa can apply for a Non-O visa, which may allow for an extension later. To qualify for the Non-O visa, he must meet certain financial requirements and can apply for extensions on that visa. However, a 1-year visa obtained in-country would not inherently be multi-entry, though he can purchase a multiple re-entry permit for a fee.

Why doesn't he apply fot the 90 day Non-O before he travels, much easier (no Thai bank account and 800k funds required until 2 months before he goes for an extension).Chris *********

Assuming he's UK passport holder, doesn't need a visa. Can enter visa free for 30 days. With at least 15 days still outstanding on the entry stamp he can apply for a Non-O (over 50) visa. Conditions for this vary from office to office. In Bangkok they want to see the 800,000 baht in a Thai bank account and a 12-month lease. Once he's got the 90-dayer, he can apply close to the expiry for a 12-month visa extension with similar criteria as the 90-dayer. There are no Multi-Entry visas issued in Thailand. He simply gets a Multi-Entry Re-entry PermitStuart *********
If he qualifies for getting a Non O visa he can apply in country by meeting the financial requirements to do so.
Once on that visa they can apply for a year extension near the end of the visa. The year extension is not multiple entry but they could buy a multiple re-entry permit for 3,800 baht.
