My daughter (Singapore passport). is on a non-immigrant, single entry “ED” (educational) visa, and just started a 8 week unpaid internship in Bangkok. She want to apply for a multiple re-entry permit which will be valid till September 2017. . But was told that it would be difficult to get the multiple re-entry permit because the internship is only for 8 weeks while the multiple re-entry permit is issued for 1 year. Greatly appreciate any information on how to get the multiple re-entry permit? Thanks.
