Tourist Visa

[ppcllggf]

Hey everyone,

 

Currently living in Bangkok with a non-immigrant ED Visa on a french passport, my visa is about to expire at the beginning of June.

Since I won't be able to ask for a tourist visa in thailand I was thinking of going to Singapore in order to acquire a tourist visa.

I heard that it was possible to get a visa on arrival at the airport but since my country ( France ) isn't on the list, does it mean that I would need to apply for a tourist visa at the embassy in Singapore ?

 

Moreover, after checking out the New overstay rules http://www.consular.go.th/main/contents/filemanager/VISA/Visa on Arrival/VOA.pdf

I noticed that French passport holders may enter the country without a visa.

 

Does that rule only apply to people that don't have a previous visa ? Will I be able to enter the country with a previous ED visa ?

 

Thanks in advance for the help guys/girls, if you need additional information let me know !

 

Cheers.

You should be able to enter Thailand on the Visa waiver program, and receive 30 days, which can be extended for a further 30 days at immigration. 

You are not eligible for a Visa on arrival in Thailand.

Thank you for the quick reply,

if I understood correctly it means that I will be able to come back to Thailand for 30 days without the need for applying for a visa at the embassy right ?

As a French passport holder you are entitled to enter for 30 days on  the Visa Exempt. You may be asked to show a hotel booking, 20,000 baht and a flight out. 

A tourist Visa would give a 60 days permission to stay.

There is no visa waiver program.

You would get a Visa Exempt Stamp of 30 days which can be extended at Immigration by another 30 days.

1,900 Baht fee. for the extension.
