60 days visa vs multiple entry

[Doronazl]

Hello,  can someone tell me the difference between the 2 visas?  

I already do one visa run to laos,  it wasnt so bad,  just a little boring up there,  would a multiple entry visa save me some time? 

Would it be just going in and out of thailand without staying there for 2 days to visit the thai embassy? 

 

If so i would prefer to do that but is there a chance i would pay the application fee and then get rejected?  

Im gonna visit the embassy for 30 days extension to my existing 60 days visa in the next few days.

Serioisly?  Since when is it like that?

It gets worse I'm afraid...

 

For the last two years I've gone back to the UK to get my multi-entry O visa from Hull in the UK. But I've just been told they've put a stop to that as well. No more multi-entry (unlimited entry) O visas. Period.

 

Well done Thailand - I'll go spend my expat dollars somewhere that actually welcomes me, bye.

so im left with applying outside of thailand?  Is there a limit to hihow many times i can do that?

On the Visa forum you'll see that is not completely correct.

rather than go thru 83 pages, can u copy and paste here where it says it can be issued outside ur own country??

as i understand, u need $$  ( apx $7,000) in bank and letter from employer

 

Here is what u need to obtain it in the states.

 

Thai Consulate in Washington has now posted their METV requirements for Americans.

IF ur there with a valid visa and working and have the $7,00 in the bank
