@Michael *******

it's only 4000 when you buy at the airport. I buy my multi re-entry permit right after Immigration has stamped a new 1-year extension into my passport. On Immigration it costs 3800 Baht

@Farang ********

you worry too much. When you get issued a 1-year extension of the stay permit on Immigration, just buy a multi re-entry permit for it for 3800 Baht on the spot. . . . . . With a multi re-entry permit stamped in your passport, you can exit and re-enter Thailand as many times as you wish, during the one-year validity of the "1-year extended" stay permit

@Marco ******

Good Luck 🙂

@Marco ******

okay, the embassy won't care much. However Immigration might come to the conclusion that you should rather get the 1-year extension of the stay permit, instead of using (and thus "abusing") a 90-days Non-Imm-O Visa for consecutive holidays

@Marco ******

and then it is PEACE OF MIND. You can exit and re-enter as many times as you wish, during a full year. No more need to buy re-entry permits at the airport, no more visa applications. Just ONCE a year 30 minutes on Immigration and 5700 THB for another 1- year stay permit, a multi re-entry permit included. The other advantage: You save over 20,000 THB every year by this method, compared to now

@Marco ******

that's what I am saying. You don't apply for the visa for 1900. It costs 2500 instead. You are wasting 20,300 THB every year, plus the interest 400,000 THB would get you from a Thai bank (average 1.25% interest for a savings account)

@Marco ******

your wires are still crossed. A visa application is still 70.- Euro or 80 USD, and not 1900 THB. Only an extension would be 1900 THB. . Thus it is 4 x 80 USD = 320.- USD = 10.000 THB . . . . 16,000 plus 10,000 THB = 26,000 Baht. . . . if you did the 1-year extension with 400K in the bank, you save 26,000 minus 5700. This means you are throwing 20,300 THB away , EVERY YEAR

@Marco ******

I am just trying VERY hard to understand WTF you are doing, exiting Thailand every 14 days, return and stay for 14 days and exit again, rinse and repeat until the 90 days stay permit expires. You not only pay the visa fee of 70.- Euros every time when you apply for the 90-days visa, you also pay 110.- Euro for the multi re-entry permit every 90 days. . . . . plus three or more flights out of Thailand within 90 days. Are you a millionaire throwing pearls to pigs (Casting pearls before swines), then why don't you just put 400,000 THB in a Thai bank account and apply for the 1-year stay permit. Then buy a 3800 THB multi re-entry permit for it and you can exit and re-enter as many times as you wish during the 1-year stay permit

@Marco ******

. . . . ??? "Every 3 months i apply for visa, at my first entry i buy the multiple entry at the airport when leaving and repeat the process every 3 months." . . . . . . . . . . . . it is complete nonsense to buy a multi re-entry permit for a 90-days stay permit, unless you exit and re-enter Thailand more than 3 times during this 90-days period. You don't want to tell us that this is what you are doing? Come on 😎

it is complete nonsense to buy a multi entry permit for a 90-days stay permit, unless the person wants to exit and re-enter Thailand more than 3 times during this 90-days period
