I have a non OA multiple entry Visa ( valid until 31/3/2025 )

I am leaving Thailand next week and plan to return in 2 months.

My understanding is that I do not require 

a re - entry permit , so my question is, when I return I just need to show my original Visa approval document, or does the immigration data base show that I have a multi entry visa ? 

Thanks

Answer summary

If you hold a non OA multiple entry visa and are returning to Thailand after two months, you do not require a re-entry permit. Upon return, you simply need to present your passport along with your valid multiple entry visa. Additionally, it's important to show proof of health insurance; your entry stamp could be limited to the duration of your health insurance validity.

You also need to show the required health insurance. Your entry stamp will be for 1 year, but if your health insurance is for less than a year you'll only be stamped in until then.

As you say the Health insurance duration is crucial.

but if you get an additional year of health insurance, you can get almost 2 years out of your visa.

That is if you are still on the initial OA visa. Not a extension.

You just show your passport and your still valid multiple entries visa in the immigration and you’ll get stamped in for another year or as long as your health insurance is valid.
