ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello experts, 

I do have a non OA multiple entry visa. 

We are leaving twice this year Thailand. 

Although I do have a multiple entry visa, is it mandatory to get in each case a re entry permit tu fully use the stamped deadline in passport ? 

Thought a re entry permit is only needed for single entry visa, but I might be wrong !? 

Thanks.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquires about the necessity of a re-entry permit despite holding a multiple entry Non-OA visa, confirming that they plan to leave Thailand twice within the year. Comments clarify that if the user is within the valid dates on their visa sticker, a re-entry permit is not needed, as they will be stamped for another year upon return, provided their insurance is also extended.

If you're still within the dates on the ORIGINAL visa, you don't need a re-entry permit. You'll be stamped in for another year providing you also extend your insurance cover.

What are the valid dates for the OA visa as stated on the OA visa sticker originally issued?

Look at your OA visa sticker pasted in your passport.

look at the expiration date of your OA health insurance policy. Make sure you extend it for one year.

AND when you arrive into Thailand in August before the OA visa expiration date, you will be stamped in for one ADDED year to the expiration date of your health insurance... As long as you have the required health insurance for the OA visa.

Be sure during the second year that you have a re-entry permit to LEAVE THAILAND and REENTER.

Correct. The first year of the OA visa is multiple entry. NO need to get a re-entry permit during the first year of the OA visa issue date.
