Thai Visas are issued for single or multiple entries, usually for a period of thirty days to a year. In the case where a visa is issued for a single-entry, if you leave the country, you cannot re-enter, even if you have not exhausted the number of days you were given. This is where a Thailand Re-Entry Permit comes in.
