What are the pros and cons of a multiple entry tourist visa for Thailand along with its cost?

Middle of November to around end of March best time to visit Thailand

When going to Thailand for 31 - 60 ( 90 )days, the 60 days touristvisa is the best option.

It is cheaper than visa excempt + 30 days extension.

No need of a onward ticket ( 90 days 1 onward ), if returnticket within 60 days.

It is easier to apply from the comfort of your home.

If visiting the nearest Thai Embassy website, you may find informations, that make it much easier to apply online.

Not wasting holiday time to find, go to and waiting at a immigration office ( 90 you would need that ).

Then no need to leave Thailand in up to 90 days.

Hey

@Dominic ********

I'm also looking into the METV 😁

Avoid March, April and May, generally these are the hottest months with temps of 40°.

For cooler weather you want December to February.

On the weather front. I come to Thailand several times a year and if you are looking for the cooler months I would avoid March and April which is the middle of the summer 40+. I’d probably look at September to February which is just coming out of the rainy season and into the more bearable weather. November to February is my favourite time.

A multiple entry tourist visa is about maximizing time for 9 months. If you'll only go for 3 months there's no advantage over a single entry tourist visa.

The multiple entry tourist visa is valid to enter Thailand an unlimited number of times for 6 months from the day it is issued by the embassy, and with it you can get almost 9 months in Thailand.

Enter and receive 60 days + 30 day extension. Border bounce to neighboring country and get a new 60 days + 30 day extension. Just before the expiration date on the visa, bounce a final time and get 60 days + 30 day extension. This is almost 9 months. After this you probably will not be able to return as a tourist for at least 6 months or more, or you'll get grilled at the airport and possibly denied entry.
