Visa Exempt Entry After One Year Extension Expiry

[JBernard]

Hi 

Can anyone confirm current policy / options in this scenario:
One year extension, issued by immigration office, is expiring soon (based on having a Thai child). If I do a land crossing visa run- most likely Vientiane -will I get exempt entry, and if so for how long?

The situation is that it looks like we have misplaced the Tabien Baan hard copy (have photocopies)

So probably going need time to sort this out…

Applying for a Visa outside the country would be an option, but I think I need a house lease as evidence of residence ? Which I don’t have. I’m listed in the Tabien Baan and immigration have visited the house etc. so this is a different requirement than IO. Have all other documents…
Grateful for any advice. Thanks.

Hi,

 

Last year I left Thailand after having a 1-year

extension of my Non-B and came back to The

Kingdom by land a few weeks later no problem!

 

I'd say that you can get 45 days for your visa-exempt

entry by 31 March 2023.

 

Hope that helps.

No problem.

Stamp for visa exempt entry will be 45 days up till March 31.

You only need to supply copies, not the originals, for a 1-year extension.
Never in 10 years have I supplied, or, the original Tabien Baan been requested.
