The immigration officers stamping the passports had been there last time, when we arrived at 12:30 in the morning. However, the "Visa on arrival" desk was not operating. And yes, I'm citizen of one of those "few" countries and as such I'm not eligible for visa exemption..

Seems crazy indeed, but that's how it was last time and that's why I started this topic. I suppose they would do it at the checkpoint, but somehow can't stop thinking about that:)

Thx for replies..

Hi, anyone has any experience with obtaining visa on arrival at Phukett international airport at the night hours? I have to go there from Kuching (Malaysia) and there is no Thai conslutae here.. The problem is that I will arrive around 8:45 pm and when I arrived at Phukett airport last time in such an hour (with tourist visa obtained in advance), the "Visa on arrival" was closed. I should be completely eligible to obtain it and know all the requirements..

Thx a lot for any replies..

Unfortunately it seems that you are right, I have also tried some other websites and none of them was working with UltraSurf on Anyway, another interesting site: http://behaya.info/link1.html

And thx for posting info about Stream Torrent, it is very interesting (although none of the torrents worked for me). Also thx for posting the ATDHE.Net, Ultra Surf works good with this site..

Ok, so the solution to the 90 sec. problem and to the problem with IP broadcasting restriction is called UltraSurf Actually the link is right in the middle of the ATDHE streaming window, but ofc the scope of its use is much larger:) Enjoy..

Also, many sport channels (e.g. NBC) have online broadcasting, but I'm not sure if it is possible to watch outside US. Have tried some which wouldn't stream to Thai IP adress but others I'm not sure.. Anyone have any experience with watching NBC live streaming outside US?

NBC restricted to US only:( just have found out..

Czech Republic = Gold Medals, you bet! Anyway, any suggestions on where to watch at Phuket town? Thx in advance..

Just wanted to give you the information, your posts solved my problem anyway (again:)) thx..

Ok, thx again for the answer. Here is the link to the web page of Thai embassy in Bratislava with the offer for issuing 4 entry visa valid for six months> http://www.thaiconsulate.sk/visa.htm (unfortunately it is in slovak language only, which I understand, because it is very similar to ours (we were one country lately)). The information itself is "doba platnosti turistických víz je 3 mesiace (1-vstupové víza), alebo 6 mesiacov (2, 3, 4 – vstupové víza)". Words in parentheses are the information about issuing 2, 3 or 4 entry visa. . As to my application: I was applying at embassy in Prague (in Czech Republic) and I didn't finally apply, because I'm leaving around the end of January in 2010 and I would have to use my second entry in fourteen days after arriving to Thailand. So I've decided to wait until the very end of January and will apply just week before departure. The other option is to try get two or more entry visa in Bratislava (about 6 hours by bus from Prague and they are supposed to issue the visa the same day you apply for it).

So today I was at the embassy to apply for visa and they told me that with tourist visa I can stay in Thailand for only 90 days per 180.. (90 days per half of a year). Any suggestions on that? I thought this was the issue to deal with for people with tourist visa exemption, who were doing border runs repeatedly.. Also they wouldn't issue two entry visa valid for 6 months, but for 90 days only.. Anybody reading this from Czech Republic or Slovak Republic have some experience with applying for visa in Bratislava? They seem to be issuing tourist visa valid for 6 months with up to 4 entries..

Thx a lot..

Hi, one more thing on my mind - if I have single tourist visa, ask for re-entry permit, and - let's say - after 30 days leave Thailand, would that time outside Thailand with re-entry permit count into the 60 days period, or wouldn't? I mean, are the tourist visa going to expire anyway, independently on not being in Thailand, or would the period be paused, and started again when I cross the borders back to Thailand? In other words, is the expiration date of single entry tourist visa with all extensions going to be 90 days from crossing the Thai border, even if I ask for re-entry and leave the country? Thanks for replies and sorry for my bad English:)

Actually there is still one thing which I wasn't able to find anywhere else - I've read that after coming to place where you are going to stay, you should report at local police station witnin 24 hours and tell them you are going to stay in their district. Is that true? Thanks again for last reply which finally made the whole tourist visa thing clear to me..

Thanks a lot!!!

It is clear now, I didn't understand the purpose of re-entry permit.. I have actually spent a lot of time trying to figure everything out, but finally someone clearly and briefly explained everything at once. Again, thanks a lot and thank you for helping people like me..

30 days by air, 15 if by land.

Hi all,

I would like to ask you guys some questions about tourist visa. I have been reading this forum and tried to figure out myself, but because it is very important for me to know the real state of things, I've decided to post anyway.. So the thing is, I'm citizen of the Czech Republic, 27 yrs old, and I would like to stay in Thailand for about one year (I'm not going to work there, I have enough savings to make a year there and travel around the country). It is not easy for me to get other kind of visa than tourist visa. So my plan is to obtain tourist visa for two entries (Thai embassy in my country wouldn't issue more than double entry), and after 90 (60 + 30) days cross the border and then, let's say after few days, cross the border again back to Thailand, which, if I understand the whole thing correctly, would give me another 60 + 30 days of legal stay. Then, when my double entry tourist visa will expire, I will travel to some Thai embassy in a nearby country and try to get tourist visa again. Forgive me please, if I'm asking for something, which was already asked for thousand times, but as I've said, the whole thing wasn't very clear for me. I don't exactly understand, what's the difference between "re-entry permit" and "double entry tourist visa".

Thanks a lot for all replies
