roog Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Hi My sister came to visit me in LOS on a 3 month single entry visa. She flies back to UK on 22nd April. A week ago she went to Cambodia and of course the visa was cancelled on re-entering the kingdom. She was give 15 days visa exemption stay. We seem to have 2 alternatives: 1) Go to Penang or Singapore for a new 2 month single entry visa. That will last beyond 22/4. 2) i) Go to Penang, but simply fly back to for a 30 day visa exemption stay. Then... ii) go to local immigration for a further 7 days. Then... iii) go to Cambodia land border for a final 15 days. That lasts till 22/4. 1) would work but is expensive for her. 2) Some questions... Does flying into Thailand from Malaysia count as entering from a "neighbouring country", and as such would she only be granted 15 days? What would be the consecutive entry count when making the final entry overland from Cambodia? I recall there's a limit of 3, but cannot find this documentred anywhere. She will have entered the kingdom 3 times prior to this one. Thanks for any assistance. Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Any etnry by air gets a 30 day permit to stay. There is no limt on entries or days total anymore. The least expensive option would be for her to go to Vientiane Laos and get a single entry tourist visa. That would give her 60 days on entry.

Lite Beer Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 There is no limit to Visa exempt entries. Fly in from Malaysia or anywhere else gives 30 days. A land border gives 15 days. Immigration would only give 7 days if she had a ticket leaving the country within those 7 days. So it is 2 land border runs or a cheap Air Asia flight and return or a Tourist Visa in a neighbouring country. Whatever she prefers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorSucker Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 She should bought a re-entry permit for her visa. Seven day extension (1900 baht) + border run Cambodia (20 USD for Khmer visa+trip) I think a TR visa in Penang is a better option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goofie Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Hi PoorSucker, So, if I understand what you are saying, a person can get a re-entry permit for about 1000b for a tourist visa as well. So say, you had a Double Entry 60 day Tourist Visa and you wanted to leave to visit Cambodia after 2 weeks for a week, you don't have to waste your next 60 day (+30 ext) after only 2 weeks if you get the permit?

Maestro Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Yes, you can get a re-entry permit regardless of the type of visa you had when you entered Thailand. -- Maestro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
