Hello!!

I'm sure you guys have answered this question MANY times before.. so let me thank you in advance for being patient with me! (i just joined!)

I'm a US citizen set to arrive in Thailand December 5th. I was going to apply for a (60 day) tourist visa extension before I left the US because i'm kind of just winging it once I get to Thailand, no return ticket yet! Question is. . . If I spend a few weeks in Thailand then pop up to Laos for a couple days, when I re-enter Thailand will the 60 day visa be renewed? Or should I bypass the 60 day visa and stick with the 30 day if it is going to be renewed?

I've read a few posts stating that it is possible to enter and exit Thailand 3 times during a 90 day period.. but i've read others saying that it is super difficult to do that and the government has been really strict lately.

I appreciate all the advice/help you can give!!

thanks!!

1. You are in the wrong forum.

2. You probably would not be allowed on the plane without a ticket out of Thailand if you do not have a Visa.

3. If you leave Thailand your Visa will be used/finished unless you get a re entry permit from Immigration for 1,000 Baht. This will keep your stay alive . It will not give you extra time.

You could maybe get a double entry Tourist Visa or just get the single and use 30 day entries when you visit Laos and come back.

Up to you.
