Visarun Question

[fishboy]

i am from the uk and i have a tourist visa triple. which means i can stay here for 60 days leave the country and come back and get another 60 days twice it think. total of 180 days.

i heard that its possible to renew your visa in bangkok instead of doing a visa run to another country. is this true. if so how do i do this.

if not where is the quickest and cheapest place to do the visa run.

You can not renew but you can obtain a 30 day extension of a 60 day stay with payment of 1,900 baht at an immigration office.

You have 6 months to use your entries so you can do 60/exit/60/exit/60 or you could do 60+30/exit/60+2x/exit (enter while 6 month visa valid) 60+30.

Lopburi - some countries get 60 days in airport? Before I always had 60 days, but now (last 2 entries) I got only 30 days (TR visa from thai embassy).

The below countries receive a 60 day stay on a tourist visa arrival:

ah ok thanks for the info. It must have been the 1,900 bhart 30 extension someone had mentioned.

So it look like i will probably exit the country to get the 60 day pass. As i am living in bangkok is it better to go to ranong (Bhurma) or to cambodia if i want to do this in one day. Which would be cheaper? Or is there somewhere else i could go?

Cambodia is much closer. You can take a bus to Aranyaprathet / Poi Pet from Mo Chit bus station for about 200 baht one way. Or you could use a visa run service. I recommend Thai Visa Run (www.thaivisarun.com), very friendly and efficient. The trip will cost 2,000 baht including the Cambodian visa. Leaves at 9:30am from Ekkamai and returns at around 6:00pm.

If you have a few days Ranong is a nice trip, but it will take at least 8 hours each way.

ah ok thanks. I guess cambodia it is.
