astral Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 In theory Yes. It is too early to see if practice matches the theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Currently there should not be any problem doing that. Normally the only problems arise when you get close to the 90 day entry without visa limits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebusjones Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 This is what I've been doing. I'll be going to Laos tomorrow to apply for my second tourist visa since October 1, so I'll let you know if I'm successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

llothar Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 If this means you have a TV with double entry then the answer is: NO. You will not get a VOA if you have one more valid entry on a visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not see any mention of a two entry tourist visa but in any case it would be up to the officer and if asked politely most do in fact seem to allow a visa entry to be used later.

On 25th Feb I got told to go back to doing visa runs at Mae Sai. This was 60 days after obtaining a tourist visa for the first time. Probably only the third secretary of the second head immigration officer though. Edited March 6, 2007 by sceadugenga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably only the third secretary of the second head immigration officer though. the officer i spoke to.i believe he his the head of the office,i should know his name because i have known him for over 5 years i think he his police but not sure,when you apply for your visa etc he sits on the left hand side,he speaks very good english. i was asked by some farang if this was possible and though i have a one year marriage visa i said i would ask when i applied for my one year visa 10 days ago take a copy of my post and go and talk to the guy yourself,you should find him very helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
