CCCP Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 A friend of mine currently has a 30 day extension on his Non O which has expired. He wants to stay a little longer if possible and was wondering if he could apply for a tourist visa, and if so would this be his best option for temporary stay. He is going back to the UK soon so he can apply for another Non O there. If he applies for the tourist visa is this done at the Immigration office in Bangkok or at a border. He normally goes to Cambodia when a visa run is required. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks well, i have not had a "non o" so im only guessing on this, but i would assume he would be able to do 3x 30 day border runs "visa excempt??? not sure, but cant see why not, when i get a tourist visa, then i extend, then i do 3 x 30 border runs, but not had a non o, sorry, chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway he can do a border run and get a 30 day exempt OR go to a Thai Embassy/Consulate in a neighboring country and get a Tourist Visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houseofgooch Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Like Chris said, you can do your 30 day border run to Cambodia. After you excede the 3 X 30 days you can get a tourist visa in which you need to go a Thai embassy in another country such as Laos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm that he has a 30 day extention as i went to Cambodia with him. The officer at the desk noticed his Non O visa had expired, but his stamp hadn't, she gave him a 30 day stamp. Regardless of that my question was about obtaining a tourist visa. Edited August 3, 2008 by CCCP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which means he has already used up 30 days out of his 90 days quota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCCP Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share Posted August 3, 2008 Then i stand corrected. In that case I am assuming once is 30 days are about to expire, he can do a border run for another 30 days, even though his visa has expired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
