What are the requirements for obtaining a multiple entry visa to Thailand when traveling without a return ticket?

Chris *******

Remember once you have the visa.

Point of entry, travel dates and method don't matter.

You only need to prove these things to obtain the visa.

So cancelable flights will solve the problem...

How long does it take to apply for a Thai tourist visa at the embassy in Kuala Lumpur?

Chris *******

Maybe consider an METV multi-entry tourist visa good for 6 months.

60 days on entry and 1x 30 day extension in country,

With a border bounce 6 months is easy.

With planning could get almost 9 months out of it.

What are the current visa regulations for U.S. citizens entering Thailand?

Chris *******

If you purchase a tourist visa before entering it is 60 days and can be extended an additional 30 days locally.

If you enter without visa it is 30 days and can extend another 30 days locally.

What visa options are available for moving to Thailand for a family with a 50-year-old mother, an 18-year-old brother, and a 30-year-old sibling?

Chris *******

@Ally ***********

the US embassy does not endorse income.

Therefore the first year will be 800k.

Second extension could be income of 65k deposited every month for a year before next application.

Will leaving Thailand affect my Non O visa application that I recently submitted for retirement?

Chris *******

@Stephen *******

yes as long as you are back while stamp date is valid.

I'm not saying it's the best idea but if you have to go...

worst thing that happens is you have to start over again.

Will leaving Thailand affect my Non O visa application that I recently submitted for retirement?

Chris *******

If you purchase a reentry permit and are back before the under consideration stamp expires you should be fine.

If you are concerned go back to the office that you applied at and explain the situation.

What are the new rules and requirements for applying for an eVisa in Thailand?

Chris *******

This is the same as always.

If you are looking for 90 day non-o based on retirement, it is not considered a longstay visa.
