Hello Gurus,

Is your passport considered a visa? If your passport was stamp upon entering the thai immigration is it considered a visa?

A visa is an pre-authorization to present yourself to the immigration at a country's border.

You then get or not get a permit of stay from the immigration at border

Visas are generaly either a stamp or a sticker applied on one of your passport's pages and is generaly done at an Embassy outside of the country

Permit of stay is generaly a stamp in your passport given by immigration once they decided to grant you entry for a certain period of time in te country

A passport is not a visa

Hello,

Just a little clarification. My passport were stamp in thai immigration with days of stay validity upon entering BKK. Does this clearly states that I am not holding any type of visa? just a mere passport with stamps.

Because somebody is asking what type of visa I am holding and I am a little bit lost.

Thanks in advance.

hello,

Without a pre-approved visa from a Thai consulate/embassy outside thailand, you are entering the Kingdom on a visa exemption entry permitted by immigration. You are not holding any kind of visa whatsoever.

Maybe is a tourist visa which not require if you are a British, American, Canadian or Australian. But you only given 30 days to stay in Thailand.

As said. A 30 day entry stamp. NOT a Visa.

You apply for a Visa at any Thai consulate in any country. You dont apply for a visa within Thailand as explained in the definition of Visa above. Not necessary to return to your country of residence.
