thaiman Posted November 2, 2007 Author Share Posted November 2, 2007 so i can enter with a tv then exit, getting the stamp and paying for it, several times during the 60 day duration and still be considered as entering with a visa (not voa)?

thaiman Posted November 2, 2007 Author Share Posted November 2, 2007 The "b" scenario above is what i'm interested in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 No. The sequence is like this: 1. Enter with a tourist visa. You receive permission to stay for 60 days. 2. Go to an immigration office and get a re-entry permit. 3. Leave Thailand before your 60-day permission to stay is over. 4. Re-enter Thailand before your original 60-period is over. The re-entry permit keeps your permission to stay alive, it does not extend it. -- Maestro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestro Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Yes, that’s correct. For example: 02 NOV: enter Thailand. Permission to stay (entry stamp) until 31DEC 2007 03 NOV: get multiple-entry re-entry permit. 07 NOV: leave Thailand. 10 NOV: re-enter Thailand. On arrival card, indicate number of re-entry permit. Permission to stay until 31 DEC 2007 20 NOV: leave Thailand. 28 NOV re-enter Thailand. On arrival card, indicate number of re-entry permit. Permission to stay until 31 DEC 2007 02 DEC: leave Thailand. 07 DEC: re-enter Thailand. On arrival card, indicate number of re-entry permit. Permission to stay until 31 DEC 2007 10 DEC: leave Thailand. 14 DEC: re-enter Thailand. On arrival card, indicate number of re-entry permit. Permission to stay until 31 DEC 2007 31 DEC: leave Thailand. Get new tourist visa. Repeat entire procedure. A multiple-entry re-entry permit coste 3,800 Baht, single-entry 1,000 Baht. -- Maestro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazuntex Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 (edited) Thank you! Thank you! Very useful information. And then after that 60 days...is it possible to get the 30 day extension? And during the extension can I leave and re-enter same as during the original 60 days? With new permission for multiple exits and entries, or on the original re-entry permit?

phuketrichard Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 why would u do this>? Your allowed free entry 30 day non visas up to a total of 90 day stay in Thailand in a 180 day period to make it clearer so u can come in for a week and leave and u use up 7 days come back for 4 days another 4 days gone and so on and so on.

Not if you want to stay here for 6 months, using our apartment in Bangkok as "home base" and travelling to say Cambodia for a week....back to BKK for a few weeks. Then to Laos for a week or so...back to BKK. Then Vietnam, then Malaysia etc. . YOur scenario only works if I am in Thailand for 90 days or less out of 180. I want to be here MOST of the time during the 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streetlite Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 My own personal situation: Obtained a Tourist Visa from June 26 through August 25, 2007. Mother passed away and had to return to USA on July 13 but wanted to return to Thailand on the 20th. Kept my original air ticket and purchased a new round trip to US and back. Went to Pattaya immigration for details on returning July 20th but still staying to Aug. 25th which was the original return date on the plane ticket. They said upon returning on the 20th to go back to immigration and they would give me a 7 day stamp, which they did upon return, but it cost me 1900 Bt. No mention of re-entry stamp for only 1000 Bt. I guess I didn't ask the right question at immigration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopburi3 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 You can stay 60 days and most likely you could extend for another 30 days before you need to exit/return for 30 day stamps - but your plan should work. Just remember you are counting in 30 day blocks - not months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahernsv Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Also.. this 90 out of 180, I have been realiably informed that its more like 90 out of 183.. IE six Months, not 180 days.. could be wrong.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 It is maximum 90 days on visa-exempt entries in 6 months. -- Maestro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0Mix1up Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Just an additional question without starting a new thread. Can you, on a 60 day tourist visa, 30 day extend it at any immigration office. ie:Nong Khai? Or is a trip to Bkk the only place? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Any immigration office can extend a tourist visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astral Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 On a general note. A re-entry permit can be obtained on any type of visa, even the visa exemption stamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
