Does anyone know if it is possible for a UK citizen to get a double entry tourist visa in one of the neighbouring countries to Thailand?

 

I know there was speak of it before, but i was not sure if it had been introduced yet.  If it is possible, where are the best places to go?  Vientienne still a good option?  Anywhere else?  

I am based in Hua Hin

They are not available yet.

The proposal to do them has not been approved yet.

A US citizen can. $240 60 days

Yes, I tried for a double entry last week with a TV , but I  only got a single entry

Same here... Friend in HK asked for DETV, they had no idea and gave him SETV... Seems not official yet, waiting for updates . . .

I would not count on this occurring.  A simple step, which would make a big difference, but not offend the "long-stay foreigners out" faction, would be to simply make all Tourist Visas have automatic re-entry permits covering the 60-days of stay from first-use. 

 

This would allow people to use Thailand as a base for travel in SE Asia for 2 months at a time, without having to worry about being hassled for "too many" Visa-Exempts, or having to apply for re-entry permits or fresh Tourist Visas, to avoid risky* Visa-Exempt entries.

Can you get an METV from a neighbouring country though? I thought you had to go back home (UK in my case). This does not work out that well for me because I don't go to Thailand for a good 3 months after leaving the UK, so if it turns out you can get an METV somewhere in the region that would be v. good news.

 

Course if the proposed changes actually happen then it might not matter. Still interested though.

 

Separately, can you get permission to re-enter when getting a SETV, or does that require a visit to immigration in LOS?

Re-entry permit you can get at Imm' office in LOS or airport on the way out.
