MULTIPLE VISA OR NOT? PLEASE HELP
 
My airline ticket on EVA airlines shows that I arrive in Thailand on January 26 and will leave Thailand on April 27th. However, when I arrive in Thailand I am purchasing a ticket on Egypt Air leaving Thailand (for Egypt) on March 20th and returning to Thailand on April 21st (this is a second air ticket). My reentry into Thailand will be a six day stay before returning on the 27th of April to the US.
I understand I need a tourist visa (allowing a visit up to 60 days) which I am getting before I leave AND this visa will allow me to stay until March 20th . My question is do I need a multiple entry visa ? —do I need a visa for the second entry April 21st - April 27th since it will be less than 30 days? or do I need extenson with a re-entry permit. HELP PLEASE!!!
I am a US citizen.

You should ask the Thai embassy/consulate here in the US to find out. But personally, I don't see a problem. Your second stay is only 6 days, and a US citizen wouldn't need a visa for that visit anyways. And even if you add up the two stays, you're still under 60 days.

But that's just my opinion.

?Visa for Thailand for US citizen?

i do not think you need a visa for the second stay as it is less than 30 days..

Yes, Jed US citizen needs a ?isa for Thailand if you are staying longer than 30 days.

It is pretty clear that you won't need a visit for your second, 6-day, stay because it is less than 30 days.

Your first stay is 54 consecutive days, so you would need a tourist visa for that.

When you enter the country you might be asked to show that you have an onward/return ticket. But what you will have to show at that point is only your return ticket for 92 days later.

There may be a better chance that you will be asked for proof of onward/return travel when you submit the visa application.
