Hi all,

My current visa expires on the 5th September (covid extension of a visa exempt stamp)

 

If I leave for Kuala Lumpur on 2nd and return to Phuket on the 3rd, will I be given a new 30 day visa exempt stamp?

Or do I need wait until after 5th when the previous expires?

 

Thanks

You are best to exit just prior to expiry without reentry permit.

You will be given 30 day visa exempt stamp upon reentry. 

Enter via land and not via air. 

Each entry visa exempt you can obtain a 30 day extension.

You are permitted 2 land border visa exempt entries per year. 

Good timing you can obtain 2 more in 2023. 

 

Note visa exempt entry change from 30 days to 45 days from October 1

 

So I need to wait?

You can exit anytime you wish.

When you do any remaining days on current permit are gone.

When you reenter visa exempt you will be given new 30 day stamp which starts from date of entry..

 

That 30 days can be extended by 30 days at immigration for 1900baht.
