TLDR : Answer Summary
If you have a 6-month multiple entry visa for Thailand, you do not need to file a 90-day report because you cannot stay more than 90 days at a time. However, if you want to apply for a 30-day extension on your 60-day entry stamps, you will need to obtain a TM30 form. It's essential to note that you will either need to get a visa extension or leave the country after 60 days.
Six months validation, not six months to remain consecutive. 60 days, then apply for 30 day extension, then on day ninety exit the country, re enter on the same day if you want to try, or stay out 24 hours then re enter. Stay another 60 days, get another 30 day extension, then if you do it right exit on say day 85, either stay out 24 hours or try a border bounce then on re entry you get another 60 days, then you can get another 30 day extension. Then you have to leave and either go back to your own country or try a near country Thai Embassy/ Consulate for another 60 day tourist visa, if they grant you one. Not a definite that they will. This is my understanding of how to utilise a six month multiple entry tourist visa.
assuming you mean the multiple entry tourist visa, the visa is valid for repeated entries during the 6 month validity period, but only grants a 60 day stay per each entry. You can extend each entry one time for 30 more days, granting a maximum of 90 days per stay with the extension before you must leave, and return to activate a new 60 day period. This is why people are telling you that you would never need to do a 90 day report as your stay would never exceed that period.
once you start border bouncing, you’ll get the hang of it. Go to a local Thai travel agency & book border bounce a couple days before your 60 + 30 extension is up. Depending where you reside, can take a full day crammed in a small minivan with bumper to bumper people.
since immigration has gotten much more strict about back to back entries especially after you've gotten an extension, having an actual multiple entry visa helps reduce your chance of being denied compared to visa exempt entries.
