TLDR : Answer Summary

To apply for a new Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV) with an American passport, you cannot do this in Southeast Asia. The only options are returning to the USA or applying at the Thai consulate in Perth, Australia, which does not have a residency requirement, as long as you meet the necessary financial criteria.

The closest thai consulate that will sell a 6 month METV without a residency requirement is the one in Perth. As long as you meet the financial requirement you can get one there.

You cannot get another one in SE Asia. It’s either back to the USA or Australia (which doesn’t have a residency requirement).

: That would be the closest place unless you have residency in a country that’s closer.
