Raymond Kelman 325$ Canadian

I have just been on the phone with the Thai Embassy in Ottawa Canada. The proper way to do this is to apply for the multiple entry visa before leaving canada which is valid for 6 months at a cost of 325 $ Canadian dollars. Canada is on the list of exempt countries not requiring a visa to visit Thailand so even if the visa arrives in my email after my initial arrival in Thailand it is fine. It is also necessary to have a ticket exiting Thailand within the first 60 days even though a 30 day extension is available. But there is no guarantee that the extension will be granted. Upon arrival back in Thailand another 60 days is granted and one can apply for the 30 day extension again. The immigration authorities look closely at the history of travel to and from Thailand to catch those individuals who have overstayed their visit and are circumventing the rules. Thank you for all your input on this and like everything in Thailand these rules are subject to change rather quickly so what is law now most likely will change at some point.

I looked into the multiple entry tourist visa and I think it was around 300 Canadian
