Can you obtain a volunteer visa in Thailand for one year and volunteer at multiple organizations?
With a volunteer visa, can you get one for say, one year but then volunteer at multiple organisations for 3 months at a time or something?
Answer summary
Yes, it is possible to obtain a volunteer visa for up to one year, but it depends on the specific approval of the organization by the Thai government. You can volunteer at multiple organizations, but you need to ensure that each organization has the necessary approvals. Additionally, you will require a Work Permit from the Ministry of Labor to formally engage in volunteer work.

I’ve not contacted them yet. Just weighing up options, however it seems that they are super legit, with lots of past European volunteers and they are accredited by the government!Glen *********
It is possible to get an extension up to 1 year as a volunteer, if the organisation has been approved for this specifically by the relevant Government department. Not many are approved for this though.

If she find an organization that can get her the 1 year Extension of Stay, she still can not hop every 3 months of something to other organizations.

Next to this visa you also need a Work Permit from the Ministry of Labor to actually start working as a volunteer.

No, in Asia you only get the Single Entry Non Immigrant O visa based on being a volunteer with documents from your volunteer organization.
