Quick Question About The 30-day Stamps

[kungknas]

Ok, I've done one 2x touristvisa (60+30, 60+30) then I did 2x 30-days stamps, and kept one for "backup". Then I've been to Penang two times in a row and gotten a touristvisa (60+30 > to Penagn again, 60+30) ....and here I am today, and I'm allowed to stay untill the 19th okt.

And now to my question, since I've done two TV's in a row after my second 30-day stamp-in-a-row (180 days ago), I should be able to use 3x 30-days in a row after my current TV expire, right?

kungknas, it depends on the date when you made your first visa-exempt entry (30-day stamp). Your next 6-month period (not 180 days) starts 6 months after that date when you made your first visa-exempt entry.

My first 30-day stamp was in 29th feb this year, then I did another one 30th mars, then two TV's back-to-back...

...but, so...6 months after my first stamp, thats around 30th aug, so after that I can do 3 new ones, right!?

[Maestro]

Correct. Your current 6-month period for the calculation of visa-exempt stay will end on 28 August 2008. Your next 6-month period will start on the date of the first visa-exempt entry you make after 28 August. That’s how most immigration officers handle it nowadays, according to members’ reports of their experiences.
