if im in vietnam and buy a 60 day visa. and I come to Thailand for 7 days can I leave the kingdom for india for 23 days and then come back to Thailand and use my remaining 53 days on the visa????? is that called reentry permit?

 

Not unless they've changed the rules in the last few years.

 

 

You can get a single re-entry permit for 1000 Baht.

BUT: this would not allow you to use 53 days but only up to the initial admitted until date on first arrival.

So simplified math:

60 - 7 - 23 = 30

So after return from India you would get another 30 days.

 

AND: a stay with a tourist visa can be extended for another 30 days.

(to a total of 90 days)

Costs 1900 Baht. Apply about one week before expiry at the immigration office where you stay.

Not sure what you mean. He can get a re-entry permit to keep the remainder of the 60 day entry valid when he enters the country using it.

I think it refers to the OP's idea of "suspending" a stay (counting only days in Thailand) and come back with 53 days (off 7). And that indeed is not possible.
"on hold" as the title suggests.

OP make sure you get a reentry permit. Hassel to go to bkk imm, just get one when you fly out to India. 

I might try to get a visa in goa india. I see thier is a satellite office thier.  it looks like third party companies in some countries can get you a visa for minimal additional cost..  if u look on thai immigration site in india they speak of this third party company as official ............I see this as the future.  third party companies charging a bit for help and the thai govt. going along with it.

In India you have to apply at a visa center. The embassy and consulates do not accept applications.

You application would be approved by the consulate in Mumbai. See: http://www.thaiembassy.org/mumbai/en/services/17326-Visa-&-Application-Centres-in-Goa,-Gujarat,-Madhya.html

this is a silly question, you will get a new stamp when you re-enter.

For 30 days visa exempt if the op doesn't use a re-entry permit.

The original visa, without a re-entry permit, will be no good as it's a single entry visa.

my point exactly ,  they are outsourcing this visa servicing.  this route might be cheaper than paying the 1900 baht in Thailand for the extra 30 days. i will try it
