    There are no 30 day tourist visas !

    Get a tourist visa before leaving home.

    Available from Thai Embassy's or Consulates

    No other "options"

    I got one a month ago coffee1.gif alt=coffee1.gif width=32 height=24>

    Could you please scan and post this "visa " allegedly obtained a month ago.

    We are all anxious to learn

    Sorry, I got visa on arrival for 30 days, not a tourist visa.

    Whilst living in Chiang Mai, I worked in two different orphanages and a dog shelter. I didn't have a work permit but there is more chance of getting hit by a speeding tuk tuk. Approach the organisations directly, otherwise you will have to pay for the privilege.

    And how did you pay for accommodation and food? From your own money?

    Where you looking for a job while volunteering?

    Please be aware that any kind of work, including unpaid volunteer work, requires a work permit. This means any organization with whom you would be working would need to be qualified and willing to sponsor you for that.

    In my experience, you would need to bring serious qualifications and convince them that you would be working with them for a certain amount of time, to make it worth their time and effort. You don't mention anything about your background, so I can't begin to guess where you might fit.

    Yes, I'm aware of the work permit issue.

    My background is financials/ IT.

    Hi,

    I want to relocate to Thailand, but finding a job remotely is impossible. I thought I may volunteer, and while I'm there I can look for a job.

    I heard once that volunteer in some company is also possible.

    What would you advise? Do you know any particular good place?

    I'm not interested in those places where one has to pay for volunteering, like those that widely promoted in the Internet.

    Thanks

    At the end of the year( and even much further) you maybe right. But for the coming days, or even weeks, it doesn't look promising to your position.

    I would be worry if the daily MACD would cross to the upside.

    If the Daily MACD will make a cross to the upside, I would look to 0.9309 as the first resistance.

    Edit: I couldn't paste the pictures here so I attached them

    How To Stay In Thailand For 9 Months

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Lopburi3 is correct. I have a triple entry Tourist from Liverpool consul. Cost me 75 pounds. 25 per entry. Very easy to get. I was in and out in 5 mins. Im on my first entry now in pattaya. I need to go to jomtien immigration before the 60 days as per the stamp on my visa. For 1900 baht I can extend by 30 days. Then after the 30 days I must exit the kingdom by any means air, road and start the second entry and repeat. The very maximum u can get on a triple is 270 days but this is more or less impossible. Why ? Because there is an expiry date of 180 days from the day the visa was issued that the third entry must be used by. This is on the actual visa and is very important to keep an eye on. So eg. If u do not travel to Thailand on the same day the visa was issued u will lose that time. I flew 1 week after my visa was issued so in effect I lose 7 days because of the expiry date. Also if u leave Thailand for say 1 week between entries u will lose that time also for the same reason. It is better to say the visa is for about 250 to 260ish days depending on how u travel, exit and renenter. If u want to leave within the entry or extension (to see friends) u need to go and get a reentry permit from immigration.

    I'm probably going to get another triple in Liverpool when I finish this one as they are easy to get either that or a ED visa for 1 year. Im very lucky i can stay here longtime. My plan is to get 3 or 4 Triple entry tourist visas then a ED visa for 3 years (with extensions). This will just get me to 50 so i can get the retirement visa smile.png. I may have to prove finances to cover my Tourist trips as they do not allow u to work in Thailand but no problem for me. Working here is a whole different kettle of fish!!

    Wow! I didn't know that a multiple entry on a 60-day Tourist Visa automatically renews the 60-day visa every time you pop out and in again. I wonder why that Immigration officer in Nakhon Sawan told me when the visa expires, so do the re-entry privileges. Maybe, if I get an Ed visa with multiple entries, I can pop out and in for additional years... unless my assumptions... Oh, the hell with it! Give me another beer.

    I think there is a little confusion between the terms "entry" and "re-entry", I'll try and clarify the best I can.

    A triple "entry" tourist visa, gives you 3 entries into the kingdom before the expiry date of 180 days from issue of the visa. The 3rd entry must be used on or before this date, if you do not, you will lose this 3rd "entry". Each entry is 60 days, extendable by an extra 30 days by visiting a local immigration office for 1900 baht each extension.

    A "re-entry" or better a "re-entry permit", allows you to leave the kingdom (without affecting that "entry"), and come back before the "entry" expires. If you re-enter after the "entry" date expiry you will trigger another one of your 3 "entries".

    As an example, I am now on my 1st entry (60 days), I have not extended yet. Lets say I am 30 days into this 1st "entry" and I get a phone call from family in the UK to say there is a serious family issue I have to go and resolve.

    Now, if I just leave the Kingdom and go home, I will lose the remainder of the 1st "entry" I am currently on. Once I come back again I will have to use my 2nd "entry" and start a fresh 60 days.

    However, if I go to Immigration before I go home and apply for a "re-entry permit", pay 1000 baht (I believe), I have a permit to allow me to leave and come back (within that "entry" period) and not affect that "entry". So, if I was to go for 7 days to the UK, using the re-entry permit, I would come back and still be using my 1st "entry". However, I will lose the 7 days as the 60 day date on the visa still applies, but the good thing is I do not lose the whole 1st "entry" and I can still extend by 30 days.

    The "re-entry permit" does not give you another "entry" of 60 days, it only allows you to re-enter using the same "entry".

    With a triple entry tourist visa you ONLY get 3 entries of 60 days, each entry extendable by a further 30 days.

    One thing to bear in mind, as I said above in my post, the VISA EXPIRY DATE is very important as you must use your 3rd entry on or before this date or you will lose this. So, even if you are only 45 days through your 2nd entry because you went home or left the kingdom for 3 or 4 weeks, you MUST still exit and re-enter before the expiry date or you will lose this "entry".

    Now I need a beer, as my head is starting to spin!! LOL

    Also, regarding the need for an onward ticket, this depends if you are on a visa exempt or an actual visa.

    If you are on a visa exempt you must have an onward ticket (either a return or a destination outside the kingdom) before the 30 days is up, to board a flight into the kingdom.

    This is not the case with a visa. With a visa you do not need either a return ticket or a ticket to another destination. I am on my 1st entry of my triple entry visa, (in Pattaya now), and I boarded my flight with a one way ticket only!

    I was actually stopped by the airline that I do not have an onward ticket but I had already seen the flying regulations website the airlines use (sorry I can't remember the exact name now) to check boarding rules and regulations and once I said to the pretty lady behind the desk that an onward ticket is only needed if I did NOT have a visa (i.e. visa exempt), she looked it up, apologised, and I was on my way.

    After reading many threads about the visa issues, I think mxer90 summed it up pretty nicely, and now I really understand what it is all about.

    Good job clap2.gif . I will definitely put this in my favorites.
