60 day tourist visa
« on: November 19, 2011, 04:34:13 PM »
though not as interesting as Ask Dawn

need help. i have just got a single entry tourist visa for 60 days from the thai embassy in the uk.

once in thailand can i leave and re enter thailand. or is it as it says on the tin purely a trip in and a trip out ??

would appreciate some advice.

As it says: single entry!

You should have got yourself a multiple entry visa for roaming.

But you can get a re-entry permit at an immigration office. Just costs about 1.200 Baht or so plus needs a photograph and some paperwork. Or you get a free Visa-on-Arrival (30 days) when entering Thailand again. But better get some official confirmation that it is possible at your next point of entry,

Hi dave,single entry will be cancelled soon as you leave the country.if you return by plane you get another 30

days.Since June 2009 the situation has changed regarding entering Thailand overland (from Cambodia, Laos,B

Burma & Malaysia). Each 'Visa Waiver Entry Permit' stamp will be for 15 days only (previously 30 days),

So work your holiday around what your allowed.or go to immigration for a re-entry permit like jf says.You can

even do it at Suvarnabhumi Airport.  Form t8. http://www.immigration.go.th/nov2004/download/tm8.doc


GOOD LUCK regards thaiga

You can go to LAOS in the last 2 weeks of your 60 days holiday and get 15 days stamped coming back into the country.Job done. http://www.seat61.com/Laos.htm

The 15day on arrival is free, as is the 30day if you fly in.
