of you someone can take ? It doesn’t specify also accommodation I’ve only booked a week but staying possibly 4 months surely they do t want all help please
Answer summary
The inquiry about applying for a multiple-entry Tourist E visa in Thailand involves clarifying the type of photo required and the expectations regarding accommodation details. Respondents indicate that an official passport-style photo is necessary, featuring a head and shoulders view against a plain background. Additionally, while only one week of booked accommodation is mentioned, it is generally acceptable as proof, provided other supporting documents, like onward travel tickets, are included. The conversation highlights the importance of demonstrating a clear reason for needing a multiple-entry visa.

Good luck with trying to get any help from a Thai embassy especially London. I have been trying to get an O-A 1 year retirement visa since 4th January 2026 I fly out to Thailand on the 22nd March, I have phoned them I was put on hold for 1 hour 40 minutes they hung up saying there's nobody available please phone back later, I have emailed them 8 times they responded 2 emails with a generic email which wasn't what I was inquiring about all I asked was what is SA100-110 2024-25 i have only just found out what SA100-110 2024-25 it's self assessment in the UK I have never heard of it before due to 95% we use PAYE not a self assessment that's for self employed only, but I'm too late to send the document to complete my application.

I will be applying 60 day tourist visa apply for an extension of 30 days at the Thai immigration then fly out of Thailand and retire to Cambodia which is easier and cheaper than Thailand I have wasted.

£1,500 Thai O-A immigration application.

£760 Thai company health insurance

£90 ARCO criminal record clearance.

£60 GP medical clearance for leprosy and stage 3 syphilis saying I don't have these diseases.

£2,003 flight

£110 travel insurance

£2000 hotel.

And you wonder why tourism is down and future retirees are not retiring to Thailand anymore they are retiring and visiting Cambodia, Vietnam, Loa and Philippines these days not Thailand they are losing against Cambodia, Vietnam Loa and the Philippines because of this stupid visas application it is no longer the land of smiles I say it's "the land of scammers" Thailand used to welcome people wanting to live in Thailand these days they are welcoming the 2 week millionaire who are fighting, being obnoxious with the locals they never left the western attitude at the airport.

Best thing to do is do the 90 days fly out to Cambodia on a cheap flight do a few days in Cambodia then fly back to Thailand because you will definitely won't get any help from immigration department mate.

A passport style photo. You should also show the reason you need a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa, so a ticket in, a ticket out and a ticket back in

Alison Cherry Standen John Stanners is correct. You need to show proof you are leaving. What I did was purchase a bus ticket to Laos as proof of onward travel.. then cancelled it once I was approved

if you don't show the need for a multiple entry tourist visa some consulates have just been issuing a single entry tourist visa

Gem Brandon two entry tickets and one exit within 60 days is usually sufficient

Graham Seal, I’m going to be doing similar and was just wondering this myself. Do you recommend showing a complete itinerary..to leave and return 3 times in the 6 months, as well as accommodations for the entire time??

Alison Cherry Standen so a return ticket leaving for Vietnam within 60 days of entry would be perfect
