What are my options for extending my Non-O visa and obtaining a re-entry permit for multiple trips to Thailand?

Rob *******

@Chance *******

... I'd be inclined to get a METV, Multiple-Entry Tourist Visa which is a visa that allows for unlimited entries into Thailand within a six-month validity period, with each stay capped at 60 days and extendable by another 30 days. This would work without the financial requirements of a non O.

Rob *******

It depends on your long term plans WRT staying in Thailand long term or just an occasional visitor. Be aware that any non O extension is 1 year and there are financial requirements so this would only make sense to get if you are planning a long term stay in Thailand.

Do I need to show an onward ticket upon arrival in Thailand with a multiple entry tourist visa?

Rob *******

@David **********

... it has 90 day validity to arrive in Thailand from the date issued but only 60 days actually permitted in Thailand when you're stamped in at immigration, hence it's a 60 day visa.

Rob *******

... that's for a Thai wife, the requirements for the OP are different because she has a Thai husband therefore does not have the financial requirements.
