Re-entry permit : Multiple or single

[daejung]

Hello,

 

Yesterday I bought a multiple re-entry permit at CW while reporting for the 90 days.

 

I was not sure whether I really needed a multiple one.

 

My question : Had I bought a single re-entry permit, would have it be possible to buy another one (single or multiple) after using it before the expiration of my current extension.

 

Up to now, I always bought mutliple but never needed more than a single one. I bought a multiple re-entry permit just in case.

 

If possible to buy a new re-entry permit when the current one has been used, then no need to buy a multiple one is you do not expect to need it more than 3 times (3800 bahts for a multiple re-entry permit and 1 000 for a single one)

 

Thanks

You can buy as many single reentry permits as you so desire.

Thats why one only has to buy the ME-Re-entry permit if they are traveling frequently. So the answer for the OP Poster is yes you can buy as many single re-entry permits as you need to keep that annual extension alive during the one year period of validity.

Correct answers posted above.

 

Also you can buy a multi after having obtained a previous single reentry.

I think if your immigration is easy to reach for you, then single re-entry is better when you leave country less than 4 times per year.
I buy most multi re-entry, because I don't want to go to Immigration of Chaeng Wattana (Bangkok) as you are always losing almost half a day with traffic and everything. So even I leave country only 2 times per year, it's worth to buy at extension right away the multi re-entry for me.

When doing extension, I know about how many times I want to leave (more or less). Could of course be more (or in case of year 2020 much less).

does the multiple entry permit expire with my retirement extension?

You don't have to go to CW!  You can get a re-entry permit at passport control when you depart. Open 24/7 at all major Thai airports.
