Multi-reentry permit on Non-Ed

[Hal65]

Is it "harder" to get approved for? Or just costlier at 3,800 baht? I assume unlimited re-entries?

 

Do I need to prepare an excuse for it? I am considering using an agent. In my case, the US embassy Cambodia (Phnom Penh) has next day appointments for notary service (I'm in real estate) and BKK is 2+ weeks booked out. I probably need a cover story as that blows the lid on my stay in thailand for "education"

Of course you can purchase a multi re-entry permit for whatever visa/extension

 

That said be prepared to explain how on earth you are studying in Thailand when you are leaving Thailand so often

Instead of trying to scam the immigration system... why don't you just apply for the proper visas for your stay in Thailand?  It is not as hard as everyone seems to think it is... in fact it's mostly the scammers who complain all the time.

Nothing much required for reentry permit.

Single 1000b 

Multiple 3800b . Unlimited exit/reenter.

Only difference is cost and box you tick on the TM8.

Can only be obtained inside Thailand.

 

Your issue will be immigration

Even when genuine ED students ask about a trip out of Thailand it's recommended to obtain

"letter from school" 

 

With many trips in/out Thailand 

Your plan won't work.

"I'm in the long term ED visa crowd, my most current one will take me over the 10 year mark in Thailand. "

 

It really is time for you to get the correct visa ????

There will be absolutely no problem getting a re-entry permit (single or multiple). If using this for a trip outside Thailand of a day or two, Immigration on entry will also have no problem. However, if you are making lengthy trips outside Thailand, Immigration is very likely to question your status as a genuine student. Unless you can satisfy them, denied entry is conceivable. A letter from your school explaining that the absences are pre-planned, with appropriate remedial actions on your part to stay current on the course program, is highly recommended.

My plan is to always enter through CNX. Chiang Mai seemed pretty easy.

 

I need to go to Cambodia for a few days at a time. Over a year I may need to do it 3 to 5 times. It can be timed to look like mostly weekend trips to a neighboring country.
