January 30, 200917 yr Hi guys, I bought 3 tourist visas from the Thai consulate in UK, Liverpool. I did a visa run to Hong Kong which means taking up my second visa. I'm a Hong Kong resident aswell as holding a UK passport. So my question is, what can I do after my 3rd visa is finished? Does this mean I have to stay out of Thailand for a certain period of time before I can return? Or is there a way to get around this? Cheers.
January 30, 200917 yr You can extend your 60 day entries for 30 days at immigration (1900 baht). If you want to make a short trip out you can get a re-entry permit at immigration (1000 baht) that would you allow you to leave and re-enter as long as your current permit to stay. When your current visa is used up you can apply for another one without any problem. There is no rule saying you have to stay out of the country. There was an old rule ( gone since Nov. 2008) that limited the entries without a visa. There has never been a rule limiting the time spent on visas.
January 30, 200917 yr Or is there a way to get around this?Cheers. No need for Work Arounds. As said you can simply go to a Thai Consulate and apply for another Tourist Visa.

If you want to get another tourist visa you will have to go to a Thai Embassy/consulate but only Cambodia and Laos of the neighbouring countries will even give 2 entries on a tourist visa. For a 3 (or 4) entry tourist visa I think you would have to go back to UK. The good news is the embassies/consulates usually issue them overnight so, in theory, you only need to stay out of Thailand for 1 night, assuming you dont arrive on a friday evening! In practise, this is usually a minimum of 2 or 3 nights because of flight/bus times etc.
January 30, 200917 yr Author Chances are I will be running to HOng Kong and back most of the time. Any idea on how many visas I can get from there? cheers.

Next time just ask for a multiple tourist enty visa, that's it And if you are confused,,, why not ask the Thai Embassy Staff???????? Is that so difficult???? Cheers B
February 1, 200917 yr Next time just ask for a multiple tourist enty visa, that's itAnd if you are confused,,, why not ask the Thai Embassy Staff???????? Is that so difficult???? Cheers B There is no multiple tourist entry visa. A tourist visa always has a specified number of entries, ranging from 1 to 4.

February 1, 200917 yr Tourist Visas come with a number of entries. 1,2,3 occasionally 4. Not Multiple Entries. The OP has already stated that he had a 3 entry version.
February 1, 200917 yr A multiple visa means an unlimited number of entries within the time the visa is valid. To make a distiction with a tourist visa, which are limited, we speak of a single or double entry tourist visa to avoid confusion. While I can understand what you meant, it might lead to confusion with others. To avoid that I correct that.

Thye will tell you there is no such thing. You get a tourist visa with X number of entries. Yes multiple means more than one in the dictionary. But in this case it does not apply. It means unlimited.
February 1, 200917 yr Just one point. Make sure you know when the visa itself expires (could be 3 months or 6 months after it was issued) as you if you re-enter Thailand after that any unused entries are useless.

February 1, 200917 yr You can go to Aranyaprathet every 15 days yes its a pain but it could be one indefinitely. Better yet just live in Aran and you can go to the border for 10 baht. Of course, same goes for all other borders.

Tourist visas are Single Double or Triple.
