What are the differences between a multiple-entry and single-entry visa extension for non-immigrant visas in Thailand?
Any clarity would be appreciated.
I have the initial 90 day non-immigrant visa and work permit, now it is being extended to a 1 year.
From what I can see the multiple wntry 1 year allows for me to leave and return to Thailand whenever, however I must leave every 3 months?
And the single entry I do not have to leave every 3 months, and if I leave the country I have to obtain a re-entry permit before hand?

Answer summary
The user is seeking clarification on the differences between a multiple-entry and a single-entry visa extension in Thailand, specifically regarding the requirement to leave the country every three months with a multiple-entry visa, while a single-entry visa does not require this if a re-entry permit is obtained before leaving. A commenter clarifies that once an extension application is made, the multiple-entry visa is void. With the extension, one can add a multiple-entry or single re-entry permit, which allows flexible travel without the 90-day limitation.

Once you have applied for an extension of stay, the multi-entry visa is actually void. So dont leave with the intention of returning without a reentry stamp. Once you get the extension, you can add either a multi or single reentry stamp at imigration. The multi allows you to freely exit and return as many times as you like, and stay as long as you like within the year, there is no 90 day limit. (Its not quite a year if you go for another extension towards the end of the 2nd year, as again the reentry stamp becomes void at point of applying for next extension).
