the flight is connected.... i am leaving from international, so will go through immigration before 12 am... my flight is around 10 pm and then layover in bangkok for a few hours. But i will go through immigration before Bangkok.
-
I am set to leave Thailand on the last day of my visa. I will clear immigration before the 12 am deadline of my visa date. However, I have a layover in Bangkok to my next destination. I am getting checked out before my visa expires in my departing city, but i will be in Bangkok (cleared immigration, however) with my visa past. Basically, is it a problem to clear immigration before 12 am but be in Bangkok for a layover?

I got 2 visas from HCMC. The first time was my very first visa ever. No problem. The next time, I had 2 visas from Laos and the first one from HCMC. They issued me another. I had to show funds. They were very nice, but said this would be last one from HCMC. No red stamp. Maybe if I went again, showed I have money again it would be no problem.

When did the 6 visa exempt stamp counting start? I keep reading 6 since 2015. Right now, I have 4 stamps in my passport (visa exempt) .... i had a few more in an old passport. Anyway, 3 are from 2014. I left, stayed out a bit, and then returned. My most recent arrival to Thailand was visa exempt. So, did the 6 start from 2015 or earlier? I would like to come back to Thailand on another visa exempt and that would make 2 since 2015 and maybe 5 since 2014. Any problems? And after I use an exempt when I return, next time, I'll get a visa.

Basically, could I get a few tourist visas from Savanakhett? And Vientiane? or would there be any issues? Penang is an option, i've never been there.

I arrived in Thailand in March on a visa exempt, and extended it. I have to leave soon. I will go to a nearby country for a few weeks for a little bit of a holiday. I plan on returning, so I don't want any problems.
I arrived in Thailand in March after being away since 2016.
In my passport, I have 4 visa exempts (1 from this year... flew in at BKK) and extended.
I have 4 tourist visas... 2 from Laos (double entry) extended each entry from 2015
and 2 SETV from HCMC 2015 and 2016
I have no red stamps. I think I will go to Laos for a few weeks and then return using visa exempt. After that, I think I will get a visa. Would I have any problem getting a visa from Vientiane or Savanakhet?
So, based on this history, and problem coming back visa exempt? And then getting a new tourist visa my next time returning? I have the money and i don't work.

I'm actually at the airport still, and I just talked to the immigration supervisor. He was very nice and friendly, and said that it's OK. The form and passport are linked together on computer, so it's fine. I just need to make sure i write it on the departure card.
-
I just arrived, and just realised I didn't write my passport number on the the tm 6 form. I just forgot somehow. Arrival and departure have no passport number. The immigration officer didn't say anything. What should I do? Is it a big deal? I assume the form and passport are both on computer together.
-
Thanks, guys! I don't work in Thailand, have not been there in over 18 months, and I have the cash. I should be ok :)
-
Well, there is no chance of me getting a visa before i fly back to Thailand. No time, and I am far from a consulate.
I will be doing visa exempt. I hope there is no problem, should there be? I can have 20,000 baht not a problem. (should it be baht or USD equivalent to baht?) After this trip, I may get a visa, if i can.
-
Just to let you know, I am not in the US right now. I am still abroad, just not in Thailand. Why could I possibly be denied a visa from other countries, but not my own country?
As of right now, I will arrive and do visa exempt. I will do visa exempt possibly three times. Then, try for the visa.

I am a US citizen, and I will be arriving back in Thailand in a few weeks. I have not been there for over a year and a half. I will arrive and do visa exempt, and poflssibly extend it at immigration office for the extra 30 days. After that, I don't know what to do - leave and get another 30 day exempt or try for visa. Here is my history:
I have not been there for a year and half, have not been issued a visa since June 2016.
About 3 years ago, 3 visa exempt entries.
Then 60 day visa HCMC. extended for 30 days
Then back-to-back 60 day visas from Vientiane. extended each entry for 30 days
Then, finally 60 day from HCMC. I was issued the visa in HCMC, but they said last one. No more visas. There's no mark in my passport.
If I decide to get a visa, will I be denied? Or since the period has been awhile will it be fine? I don't want to try in HCMC again, but Laos would be good or Malaysia.
Basically, when I fly back into Thailand will I be hassled because of my past visits? And will I be able to do 3 visa exempt entries this year? And finally, would i be able to get another visa after the exempt entries?
-
Hey,
I have a valid visa, and need to leave in order to start my 2nd entry. Since there are no cheap flights to place I want go to, I decided just to do this trip again.
I did it last time, and it was easy. I had no problems, just paid my money to Myanmar immigration, went shopping, and then returned with no hassle.
But since this will be my 2nd time, will I run into a problem? I doubt it, but you never know, and I want to make sure.

I got a tourist visa in HCMC a while ago.
There is no one there, and will be a very quick process.
I showed RT airfare, but i have heard from other people that you may only need to show a flight INTO Thailand and that's sufficient.
I picked mine up the next day.
They only take USD, not Vietnamese Dong or Baht. I think it was $30.

i have a question
i have 3 exempt stamps from 2014, but did not stay the full 30 days each time, a SETV from Vietnam, followed by 2 back-to-back DETV from Vientiane... if i go to Penang, will i be denied... OR... can i apply for 3 more tourist visas from them?
At least I don't need a visa for Malaysia...unlike Laos or Vietnam.
-
i have done 2 extensions with the same size photo. but when i went to immigration for the extension, they said too small. so i had to go next door and pay 200 baht for photos... keep in mind, the photo was just a bit bigger, i have used the smaller one before, and this is a scam.
basically everyone in line had the same problem as me..... glad they're making money off this...
-
could i get a single entry visa in Laos with 2 back to back from VTE?
-
why did it take you basically all day?
too many people, no one had the right size photos (new requirement) and that's how it is in one of the busiest immigration offices in Thailand.
I am going back to Phuket next time. It is much easier, faster and i can also enjoy the beach
-
kind of like on the arrival card if u stay somewhere other than the address u used
-
So... i just spent a whole day basically at immigration getting a tourist visa extension.
i thought they'd ask me about TM30 because I stay with a friend, so I used a guesthouse i sometimes stay at.
However, because there was no mention of address and it went smoothly, i don't want to check-in to the guesthouse now. I was going to check-in if there was a problem so that's why i used that address.
if i stay somewhere other than the address i used on the application (TM7?) will i get in trouble?
-
and by the way, where do i get this tm30 form?
if i need it for the visa extension, does the owner need to go with me? or just sign and show ID card? oiiiii........ time to move on, eh?
-
hey, i need to extend my tourist visa.
i am staying with a thai friend's family.
will they ask about a TM30 form when I go to get the tourist visa extension?
i've not done the TM30 before.
or should i just stay in a hotel for a few days and use that address?
-
I'm not sure why you would need proof of address as a tourist, you could be moving daily!
exactly....but nothing is ever logical here.
-
once in Chiang Mai i applied 3 weeks before the visa was expiring without any problem.
Layover in Bangkok
in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

i thought it would be no problem, but didn't know for sure. Thanks for the help! ?
