...think i need a multi entry tourist visa them.problem i have is form says for visiting friends and fam.need to surply evidence does anybody know what evidence you need to surply.or is there away round this to get the visa...

Different consulates use different requirements for visa applications. You do not say in what country you plan to apply for the visa and what consulate's form you are talking about. With a little more detail from your side members will be able to give you more specific information and advice.

Most consulates and embassies normally don't require much for a double entry tourist visa. Apply for one of those, and you can stay at least 2 x 60 days + 2 x 30 days extension. Normally these visas have a validity of 180 days.

The purpose of your visit is tourism, no other evidence required, they might want to see a ticket within that time frame, but that is also not usual.

If you are appyling for an 'o' visa, you would need to add a letter from your (Thai) friend asking the consulate to consider giving you 'o' visa, for an extending visit in Thailand (also include a photo copy of your friends ID), failing that just apply for multiple tourist visa. You don’t need to supply evidence that your visiting anyone.

Not necessarily. Like so many other things, this depends on the consulate where the application is made.

Why not apply for a 1 year multi-entry "O" visa from the consulate at Hull. There were many reports of members receiving those before.

thanks but dont you have to be 50 or older???

Right, Smokeyjoe. Seeing that you are in the UK your best choice is the multiple-entry non-immigrant visa O, obtainable form an honorary consulate such as that in Hull. Application can be made by mail. Purpose of visit: “visit friends”. No invitation letter or other proof needed.

With this visa you can make an unlimited number of entries into Thailand for one year and on each arrival will receive permission to stay for 90 days. Just before the 90 days are over you make a border run to a neighbouring country and return to Thailand the same day.
