barryloei Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Can someone explain(in detail) exactly how a double entry 60 day tourist visa works from start to finish . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 You get the visa and make the first entry getting 60 days you extend that 30 days at immigration (1900 baht). Then watching the use by date of visa (do entry the day before) leave and re-enter and do the 60 + 30 again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are talking about the use by date. The Visa will be active on the day you get it. Written on the Visa will be something like "enter before". You must make your second entry before that date or you will lose it. Enter the day before that date and you will get 60 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should of went to or did a mail in to any one of 4 honorary consulates in the UK and and gotten a 3 entry that would give you almost 9 months because it would of had a 6 month use before date. Or even a multiple entry non-o. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestro Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Kampuchea, Myanmar, Malaysia? Phnom Penh double entry according to latest reports, all other consulates in Cambodia, Burma and Malaysia only single entry. About Burma, not sure, in fact, if they give any at all. -- Maestro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a 2 times tourist visa, after the 60 days + 30 days extension do you have to re-enter by plane or can you do a border run to get the 2nd tousit visa entry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
