Question about non o visa (Thai wife). We just submitted for the one-year extension after the initial three months visa. Is the one year multiple entry or do we have to do something separately for that?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The one-year extension on a Non-O visa for a Thai wife is not multiple-entry by default. You need to apply separately for a multiple-entry re-entry permit at immigration, which costs 3,800 baht. It is advisable to do this when applying for the extension to avoid additional trips to immigration or issues when traveling. There are also options for a single-entry re-entry permit for 1,000 baht if you don't travel frequently.

But make sure you wait to apply for it after the consideration period and you have received the extension stamp. Dont do it when first submitting your documents.

Thanks everyone!

If you don't travel much the single-entry re-entry permit at 1000B might be better for you

The multi entry re-entry is separate and is 3800baht.

Easier to do it at the same time as extension though otherwise you have to go back to immigration or do it at the airport when you leave.

Every time you re-enter you will be stamped in until your extension expiry date.

The extension is not multi-entry, you would have to buy a multi-entry re-entry permit at immigration for a cost of 3,800 baht.
