I'm on a type O-A, multiple entry visa.

I first entered Thailand in December 2018.

I travelled back to Australia in July 2019 and returned in August 2019. On return I was stamped in for another 12 months, to August 2020.

My question is-

am I still able to take advantage of Multiple Entries 'till August 2020, or will I need to get a rentry visa each time I travel?

Regards

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquired whether they need a re-entry visa for their Type O-A multiple entry visa after traveling back to Thailand. Comments indicated that a re-entry permit is necessary for entries after the first year, and there were also discussions about potential insurance requirements during the second year.

You absolutely will need reentry permits for any entry after the first year.

Not really known yet if you will need health insurance during that second year with your O-A. Mixed reports.

Good Luck and Commenting Closed

Bob D'Andrea Reentry permit is needed...BUT you seem to make that claim about needing health insurance as an ABSOLUTE certainty. We are still awaiting more first hand reports. Thank you.
