Multiple Entry Visa - Only Penang and Manila?!

[Idren]

I was told you can only go to Penang or Manila to do a Multiple Entry visa, in South East Asia.

Can this be true?! I am a small business owner in Phuket.

Thank you

Are you referring to a multiple-entry non-immigrant 'B' visa? Rather than a multiple-entry non-immigrant 'O' visa (on the grounds of visiting a Thai spouse? Or any other multiple-entry visa?

I'm referring to the multiple-entry non-immigrant 'B' visa.

If you have a work permit with at least 8 month remaining validity, Penang will give you a multiple entry Non B. I do not know the rules in Manila. In general, it is difficult to get multiple entry Non B visas, but they might be available elsewhere.

Yes. I wonder where. There has got to be an alternative.

I know there are a few embassies in OZ that issue them. You will have to check. I think one is in Melbourne and another may be in Perth

The embassy is in Canberra and there is a official Thai consulate in Sydney. The others are honorary Thai consulates that can no longer issue multiple entry visas unless they are approved by the embassy.
