We will be traveling from the US to Bangkok early November. We will be in Bangkok for 21 days and then going to Singapore for four days then back to Bangkok for 30 days. What kind of visa would you recommend we get? Thank you.

TLDR : Answer Summary

For American travelers visiting Thailand, you can enter the country under the Visa Exempt Entry, which allows for a 30-day stay with just a passport stamp. You will receive another 30-day stamp upon re-entering Thailand after your trip to Singapore. Make sure to have proof of onward travel when checking in for your flights.

No visa. Enter visa exempt.

As you have a passport from the USA, you are eligible for the Visa Exempt Entry into Thailand, which gives you a 30 day STAMP.

AND when you reenter Thailand from your trip to Singapore you will again be stamped in for 30 days as Visa Exempt Entry.

Be sure to have tickets for your planned trips to show airline staff on check-in for your flights..IF ASKED.

AND Thai Immigration Officers if they ask.

Enjoy your trips to Thailand.

Safe travels ✈️

Remember that the Day you arrive into Thailand counts as DAY #1 of your 30 days Visa Exempt Entry.

And by November there is a good chance it will be a 60 day visa exemption.

correct ✅. Only if you are planning to stay LONGER in Thailand and SE Asian countries, the METV multiple entry tourist visa can get you,with planning, up to 9 months stays.
