Ministry of Foreign Affairs Thai Visa Announcement 

Great news for foreigners planning to visit Thailand. Thailand Foreign Affairs will now issue a multiple entry visa beginning on the 13th November.

Thailand's Foreign Affairs made an announcement on their facebook page.

Thailand will soon grant multiple-entry visas to visitors to facilitate the forthcoming ASEAN Community and to boost Thailand’s tourism industry.

The multiple-entry tourist visa (METV), costing 5,000 baht, will grant travelers multiple entries during a 6-month period, for up to 60 days per entry.

All foreign nationals are eligible to apply for METV.

Thailand’s METV will be available from 13th November 2015.

A Foreign Expat welcomed the news:

I think thats a significant improvement in the right direction now the sixty day reporting should be eliminated for their convenience, I dont think its a good Idea to have visitors leave the country your trying to get them to spend their money in. In an Ideal Immigration policy a year visa with no reporting should be available to visitors so they can but properties with very little risk and interference  From Immigration police.
