ubonjoe Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Are you asking about getting a visa at an embassy or consulate or getting a new entry from a multiple entry visa of some kind? For a border crossing to get a new entry with a valid visa Mae Sot to Myanmar would be the nearest crossing. For a visa Nong Khai to Vientiane or Mukdahan to Savannakhet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Do you a visa issued by an embassy or consulate or did you get a 30 day visa exempt entry. If you got a visa exempt entry you can get a 30 day extension of it at an immigration office. Mae Sot as far as I now does not allow a crossing for a new visa exempt entry.

ubonjoe Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 5 minutes ago, bumofdabeach said: US citizen on tourist visa A tourist visa allows a 60 day entry. A visa exempt entry is for 30 days and I am certain that is what you got. You can apply for a 30 day extension at immigration in Sukhothai.

You can extend it at Immigration for 1900 baht and get 30 days more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
