I was looking for a Non-immigrant visa with multiple entries, that is valid for a full year (price 175 €).

Has that been stopped?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The availability of the Non-Immigrant O visa with multiple entries has been changed recently. As per the latest information, the multiple entry option is no longer available for retirement purposes as of September 28, 2023. Currently, applicants can only access a single entry version of the Non-Immigrant O visa, with new financial requirements in place. Some embassies may still offer multiple entry Non-O visas based on marriage to a Thai national. Travelers are advised to check their embassy's announcements or contact them directly for clarifications on their specific situations.

es gibt seit dem 28. September 2023 (!!!) kein "multi entry 365-Tage Non-Imm-O retirement Visum" mehr für deutsche Antragsteller! Es gibt das Non-Imm-O Retirement nur noch in der "single entry" 90-Tage Version. Und mit geändertem Finanznachweis! . . . siehe HIER:

I have a Non O Visa + Multiple entry with Retirement extension (there is no such thing as a Retirement Visa). I have had this for 8 or 9 years. I renew every year in Thailand.

@Marvin *******
you don't have a "multi entry retirement extension", there is nothing such! . . . . . You just simply got a"1-year retirement extension of stay permit" . . . . . . . . . and you buy the "multi entry permit" on top for 3800.- THB. What I would like to say is, that the multi entry permit does not automatically gets issued with the EOS . . . .The re-entry permit is valid for unlimited entries within the period of the extension of stay validity.

Embassy stopped this Visa Non Immigrant O family. Only can order now TR 60 family with multiple entry.

@Christian *******
that's not true. You can still get the 90-days single entry Non-Imm-O family visa when being married to a Thai wife EVERYWHERE on Thai embassies worldwide!

What's a TR 60 family? I have never seen it on the visa website.

If it's not on the Embassy website then yes

Some embassies offer multiple entry non-O visa based on being married to a Thai. Are you married to a Thai?

I've never heard of a multiple entry non-O based on retirement.

And just to make sure you understand that a multiple entry non-O visa only allows you to stay in Thailand for 90 days at a time before you would need to leave and re-enter.

There's also the non-OA visa which is a 1 year multiple entry retirement visa that you show money for in your home country and it has an insurance requirement among other things.

Most people get the single entry non-O then apply for the 1 year extension in Thailand and get a multiple re-entry permit so they stole lose their extension if they leave.

yes multiple entry non-o based on retirement is possible.

I know someone who mistakenly applied for one and got it.

In the list of available visas on the embassy's website is no more Non-Im O with multiple entries available, only single entries, prived at 70 €.

The Non-Im OA has different conditions attached.
