Penang - Non Immigrant O

[ThaiReal]

Hi,

first a Thank for some good voices here, so i get an idea what to do.

So i took a train from Hua Hin to Butterworth (close to Penang).

Get the ticket (1045 Baht, one way) 20 minutes before depart.

The train was confortabel, sleeping car, and has lunch (150 Baht) & breakfast (80 ath) service.

After 17 hours i tooke the ferry, after a Taxi to the new Banana Guesthouse because i didn`t know the way at this moment. (Close to the Port).

I recommend this Guesthouse, he make a very well Visaservice.

I got my Non Immigrant O Visa (I`m married with thai) after 2 days, the Visa from the 22. Juli 2007 up to the 20. July 2008.

On the border i get a Stamp in my Passport:

Date of Immigration: 23. July 2007

Until: 21. Oktober 2007

So i wonder: Visa expired at 21. OKtober 2007

or did i have to go to the Immigration every 3 months and the Visa is still good for 1 Year?

All Costs for the trip was around 11.000 Baht.

Thanks

On 20th October 2007 you book another trip and have another lunch but miss breakfast as this time you get off the train in Haad Yai, then take a taxi or bus to the border at Sadao or Padang Besar.

Go into Malaysia and return to Thailand with new stamp for 90 more days. Return to Hua Hin by train same day or stay in Haad Yai for an evening and return next day.

(Or you could do a visa run to wherever you fancy.)

Repeat every 90 days but exit and return the final time before 20th July 2008 when you will get your last 90 day period from that visa.

Before that entry expires, this time you stay on the train to Butterworth and back to the Banana guest house and the visa service.

Who said visa runs are not fun?
