Visiting Thailand For The First Time

[Peewee]

I have a pal who will be visiting the land of smiles for the first time next February. He would like to work his away around the country and spend around three months. He was planning to do this on a visitors passport but I thought there was a 30 day limit? What is the best advise to give him given his length of stay??

Thanks in advance for any input to assist.

Peewee, you really need to provide a minimum amount of information so your question

can be accurately answered. In this case you need to specify the nationality of your friend

as Thailand has varying visa rules for different categories of nations.

I assume you are from Northampton England. If your friend is also British he can get a single entry tourist visa from Embassy or Consulate in UK . This would give 2 months and can be extended in Thailand for a further 30 days.

Or a double entry tourist visa which would give 4 months with a quick border run in the middle.

You say he wants to work his way round the country. If you literally mean working then he cannot work on a tourist visa.

Lite beer assumed correctly we are from Northampton UK.

Thanks

Won't be working - need a company to sponsor for work permit and description you detail - doubt that would be possible.
