Re entry permit on 60 day tourist visa

[thomasrussell]

I'm entering thailand with a 60 day tourist visa.

I used to do a VIP visit to Burma before it stopped and I'd like to visit Tachilek again.

It may be my last chance as I'm 74

The embassy no longer does a double entry visa so that's not an option.

Can you confirm that I can get a re entry permit in Chiang Rai Administrative centre. 

If I get the re entry permit I take it I get the remainder of my 60 days and not just the 15 on re entring Thailand?  I'm traveling on an Irish passport.

Thanks

Thomas

Yes you get the remainder of your original 60 days. If you don't get a re-entry permit you get 30 days (not 15) if entering using the visa exempt scheme.
