Schnicnac Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Hi guys, for some travel/ trip planning with passport requiring visa on arrival, I'd like to ask if anyone knows if it is possible to get 2 VOA within a short period (e.g. travel to Thailand for 2 week, do a trip to Vietnam for 1-2 weeks and then back to Thailand for 2 weeks, all trips by air) or whether there are restrictions/ limitations? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianthainess Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Are you sure you mean VOArrival or VOEntry ? what passport are you traveling on? if you don't mind telling us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP clearly mentioned 2 weeks in Thailand. Almost certain it's a VOA. At a wild guess country India. Never understand why India does not have visa exempt option..

OMG visa exempt entry will be a riot in Thailand. Thailand knows how to deal with people of various country. The same reason Thailand does not give long-term residency to retirees and "wife visa" holders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think if your married to a Thai you should have more long term easy visa options. this is 2022 not 1933. Thailand wants you to believe it's a first world country, but scratch the veneer and you will see nothing but 3rd World. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnicnac Posted November 17, 2022 Author Share Posted November 17, 2022 Thanks guys for all the input. Still looking for an answer to the original question. Passport China, need to travel twice and since in both instances (with some time spent in another country in between) the stays in Thailand will be below 15/30 days, doing VOA may be more convenient.

timendres Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 I do not think you will have any problems with two entries. This is not uncommon, and it not the type of travel that immigration is concerned about. They are concerned about border runs used to stay long term. It is very common for travelers to enter Thailand 2 or 3 times as they travel about SEA. Also, the fact that you will spend more than 1 day in Vietnam is an indication that you are not border running for a long stay in Thailand.

Yes it's merely for some travel across a few countries with Thailand just in between. Thank you timendres! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
