Help With Application For Tourist Visa

[davyjones]

Hi,

I am planning a trip to thailand for august of this year as a tourist. I am in the process of filling out my visa application and i am unsure what to put down in the past visits to thailand box. I first came to thailand in 2004 for about 5 days and then a year later i came back to teach on a non-imm B visa for about 10 months. In the past visits box i have to detail my last three visits and i am unsure whether to count the 10 months (in which i did border crossings to renew my visa) as one visit or numerous visits. Any advise would me most appreciated.

Punkrocker, you should count each entry stamp, ie “admitted <date> until <date>” stamp as a visit to Thailand. If the consulate asks for the last three visits, write on the form the last three admitted dates.

I have usually written "Numerous visits from 1985 - present"

and that has never been queried.

Thanks for the replies!! I was just wondering what people would say if the embassy ask what i was doing during the 10 months in thailand? Cheers,

Davy
