ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
Extending a non-OA multiple-entry visa in Bangkok is generally straightforward. It's essential to have all paperwork ready, including valid health insurance, as the extension's duration depends on the insurance's validity. A re-entry permit is required, which can typically be handled simultaneously, though it's possible to obtain one afterward. Previous expats report the extension process taking only a couple of hours at immigration.
