Talking about Re-entry Permits (triggered by Arnold's post regarding a new Airport visa service):

This part of the process has always interested me:
Fees:
  • Single 1,000 Baht[/*:m:3pq170b7]
  • Multiple 3,800 Baht
  • [/*:m:3pq170b7]
I reside in Thailand under the yearly permission-to-extend-stay rules 'attached' to my original Retirement Visa.
Normally I use the 1000 baht Single re-entry ... because I usually go back to Canada once every year, so lately that's all I needed.
But next year I'm planning a short trip to Australia in October 2011 (i.e. after I get back to Thailand in September), but I'm still planning on going back to Canada in May 2011.
That means a Multiple Re-entry Permit at 3800 baht.

But does it? Am I able to get two Singles ... i.e. one just before the Oz trip, and another Single just before the Canada trip. That would be only 2000 baht.

(Now, he asked, possibly answering his own question) I'm assuming that a 'Single' means just that ... once you've received a Single Entry stamp that's the only one you're allowed for a 12 month period.
Why even have a Multiple version if one can successfully receive two singles for roughly half price?

Anyone know?
