Hi Guys, 

I was planning on getting a multiple entry 60-day Visa for Thailand however I'm getting alot of conflicting information online. What would be the best visa option to get if I'm going to cross from Laos to Thailand(3 weeks) then to Myanmar (1 month) then to Thailand again? 

I know its an odd itinerary but any suggestions would be more then helpful for me. Thanks!!

Answer summary

For your itinerary involving a stay in Thailand, followed by a visit to Myanmar, the recommended visa option is to obtain a 6-month Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV) from a Thai consulate in your home country. This visa allows unlimited entries for 6 months. Alternatively, if your stay in Thailand is within 30 days, you could utilize the Visa Exempt Entry upon your first entry from Laos, allowing you to stay for 30 days without a visa. If you plan to re-enter Thailand after visiting Myanmar, ensure that your total stay does not exceed 60 days on your initial visa, as reentry permits may be required if you hold a single-entry visa.

Get a 6 month METV <- multi-entry tourist visa BEFORE you come here from the thai consulate in your country. It's good for unlimited exits/entries for 6 months.

There is no longer a 60 day multiple entry tourist visa, only single, but you could buy a reentry permit 1000b to come back in on the same visa provided total time is within the 60 days.

Sorry

, I'd misread your answer. You are correct. There is no multi-entry 60 day tourist visa, they are single entry only and they'd need a re-entry permit as you suggested.

if you cross from Laos to Thailand for 3 weeks you can use the 30 day Visa Exempt Entry, than to Myanmar and than depending on how long you like to stay inside Thailand.
