ubonjoe Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 You can extend a 30 day visa exempt entry for 30 days at a immigration office for fee of 1900 baht. You could apply for a multiple entry non-o visa based upon marriage to a Thai at the consulate in Ho Chi Minh city for a fee of $200 US. The visa allows unlimited 90 day entries for a year from the date of issue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could leave the country and then enter visa exempt and then apply for another 60 day extension. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinyara Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Mix things up and throw in a trip to Penang, Malaysia in your Thailand, Vietnam cycle. 90 days visa free on entry, flights and costs not that much different to Vietnam for a few days and an interesting and tourist friendly place.

What's the total you paid for e-visa one month single entry? e-visa total cost for Vietnam, via the link he provided, is $25 USD. No stamping fee involved upon arrival. (It's a single entry visa.) Also, the e-visa negates the need to obtain the "invitation letter" from a travel agency that you/others may be used to obtaining for VOAs. Edit: processing time is usually 2-3 business days (online.) Edited December 4, 2019 by TheAppletons 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No rubber glove treatment unlike Thailand, mini stamp in passport, you are treated like a VVIP with this visa because issued by government. However you must print letter or huge problems 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
