Please can one of you experts help me out?! I have been in BKK for coming up to 90 days consecutively, leaving after every 30 days and coming back in using the 30 day visa on arrival.

I have now just booked a flight to Singapore to get a tourist visa before my time runs out. Is that okay?! Someone just told me that I wouldn't be able to do this as I have already used up my 90 days in 6 months, and that I have to stay out of Thailand for the next 3 months....

Help! Is that true?

Thanks in advance

No problem. You can get a Tourist Visa and come straight back again. And just before it finishes, go to Immigration and get a 30 day extension.

Normally a TV will take 2 days, 1 day for applying and second day for collection. TV Extension is usually quite simple, but a pain in the ass when it comes to testing one's patience (takes about 2-4 hours). It took me 4 hours, but I was happy when I could get the flaming he____ll out of immigration:) Out of all that times, one spends about 5 minutes in contact with a human being. But again, I was happy when I came out of immigration with my extension.

I used 2 Visa Exemptions and a TV already with an extension.This totals 150 days consecutively. So I'm pretty much sure you'll be sweet-as

Depends where you go to apply I should think.
