I think maybe the visa for 60 days and then leaving the country and returning for an extra 30 may be the way forward as it sounds pretty expensive to get a METV

The plan is to book their flight to Thailand when they get an attractive price and their first night somewhere as this is a requirement for the visa then book a cheap travel date out of the country (also a visa requirement) but the rest will be done whilst in the country/countries, they’ll know by then what’s what with restrictions etc. I’d imagine that they will only enter Thailand once via land once they have been to Vietnam/Laos. They aren’t traveling until October so hopefully restrictions will have been lifted a lot by then (I mean I’m going by UK standards here I know, which now has nothing). How easy/long does it take to get the Thailand pass if it is indeed still a requirement by then? Me and his Dad travelled in 2002 and arrived only knowing our first two nights accommodation and a flight date to Bali 4 months later but it’s a bit different when it’s your son doing it ????????. Thank you so much for your help

Amazing thankyou!!

@ubonjoeThank you so much for your help, we’ll explore the E Visa system with him more over the next few days and hopefully find it ????????

@ubonjoei couldn’t seem to find this option on the E-Visa system.

@Sherylthank you SO much.

Sorry yes he’s from the Uk. Ideally he’d like to do 3 months in Thailand but not in one go as he is hoping to visit Loas and Vietnam. So applying for a 60 day visa before leaving the Uk and then leaving and visiting another country and returning ‘should’ then give him another 30 days? He will most likely fly out of Thailand either home or onto Indo so it’s important that he doesn’t get turned away when trying to re-enter.

Hmmm this is what I seem to be coming across when I’m trying to find out what he can get. So did you only get 30 days? Ideally he’d like to do 3 months (not necessarily in one go) but stumped at the first hurdle in regards to his visa

My son & his Girlfriend are hoping to travel SE Asia in October from UK and we’re confused as to what visa is available. My husband and I travelled 20 yrs ago and used a triple entry visa which gave us 60 days on each arrival in Thailand, this doesn’t seem to be a thing anymore and the only option seems to be for just 60 days and no longer? I have also read that you only get 15 days on arrival now instead of 30 and the crossing across a border and back again for another 30 days is nolonger a thing? Any advice greatly received.
