Hi, Iโ€™m in Thailand on a 6 month multiple entry visa. Someone mentioned that before I leave and come back I need a reentry permit. Is that correct and if so do you know where I get one from please? Many Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
A 6-month multiple entry visa allows for multiple entries into Thailand without needing a re-entry permit as long as you return before the visa's expiration date. If you wish to leave Thailand and return after the visa's validity, you will need a re-entry permit, which can be obtained from local immigration offices or at the airport before departure.

In case you need a re-entry permit (which means you want to travel during the last entry from your visa), you need to go to the local immigration office to apply for one. You can get one at the international airport just before departure. But most land borders don't sell re-entry permits to foreigners.

You don't need a re-entry permit with a multiple-entry visa. It's valid for multiple entries already.

If you will enter Thailand again BEFORE the "valid until"/"visa must be used by" date, you don't need a re-entry permit and you will be stamped for whole new 60 days. If you will enter Thailand AFTER those dates and you want to enter on the remaining days of your current stamp, you will need a re-entry stamp. Be aware, the re-entry stamp wouldn't add any days to your current stamp.

You might be able to get some idea about visas from the attached.
