What Type Of Visa Do I Need?

[andysampo]

Hi,

I am flying into Bangkok airport on the 20th June 2010 where i then intend to stay for a couple of weeks. After this i will then be crossing various borders in order to visit Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. I will then be flying back out of Bangkok and home on the 16th August. I am away for a total of 8 weeks.

I was simply wondering what type of Visa i will need as all the information is very confusing?!

Any help or guidance would be much appreciated (as well as extra information on whether to get Vietnam etc Visa's before i go or while in Bangkok).

Thanks

Andy

You need a tourist visa for Thailand if you do not have a ticket out within 30 days but other visas you can obtain in Bangkok.

So i'm presuming as i'm there (Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos) for 56 days i need a 60 day (double entry?) Visa?

Or if i only intend to stay in Thailand for a couple of weeks at the beginning can i get a 30 day one (on arrival?) and then when i come back into Thailand to fly out a 14 day Visa on arrival at the border?

You get a single entry visa prior to travel or the airline may not let you fly (if you do not have onward ticket in 30 days). You get 15 days on a land entry to Thailand and 30 days by air. But on long flights airline will often check for a visa if your return ticket is more than 30 days later.

So your saying i should go for the 60 day double entry visa?

Much appreciated for the all the information!
