How do I request a multi-entry permission with my Temporary Stay Extension in Thailand?

@Diane ******

all extensions of stays inside the country are sold as NO ENTRY :O <- that's because you're already IN the country when you get it.

An extension and a re-entry permit are totally separate things and require two separate forms (a TM7 for the extension and a TM8 for the re-entry permit).

Once you get your extension inked into your passport you then make the appropriate copies fill out the TM8 re-entry permit application and BUY either a single re-entry permit for 1000baht (that lets you leave/come back ONCE) or a multiple re-entry permit for 3800baht that lets you leave/come back all you want during the year your extension is valid for

like this;

Two different things. You request to stay 1 year longer in Thailand using the TM7 form, application of extension of temporary stay. If you have this 1 year of stay stamped in your passport you can apply for a single or multiple Re-Entry Permit to travel abroad and on return get the same permitted up to date stamped in your passport. The application form for this permit is the TM8, only needed to apply, if you apply and get the multiple re-entry permit, you can leave and come back when ever you like as long as you come back before the permitted up to date.

Once you get your extension of stay, you need to pay for a multiple reentry permit.
