Hi, looking for some advice.

I am living in Thailand and have work permit.

My husband lives in Singapore and travels to Thailand by air every weekend to visit for 2-3 days . He has been using visa exempt method....but used so many times now getting nervous about potentially being refused entry.

Question is, if he has a METV does he have to have the multiple re entry permit and how would the validity of the visa work if he is flying in and out of Thailand every week?

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is concerned about their husband visiting Thailand weekly on a visa-exempt basis and questions whether he needs a multiple re-entry permit if he holds a METV. Suggestions include applying for a Non-O spouse visa for easier entry or using the METV for frequent travel within its 6-month validity. There is reassurance that, if questioned by immigration, he can explain his situation.

I think he shouldn't bother about this to much. Wait till immigration question him. Then he can tell them he visit his wife and show them his Singapore wp.

I think, seeing the time spent in Thailand, the best option is the Multiple Entry Tourist Visa, so he can come and go as much as he likes during the validity of 6 months of this visa.

Your husband can get a non o spouse visa. If your company will do it for him. That way he can go in and out easier.

Samantha Connor that way he only needs to renew yearly. It seems he's not in Thailand long enough to need to do the ninety day report. Yay
