(Sweden, 32)

I have tried to gather as much knowledge as possible on this forum regarding Tourist-visas, but there are some things that are still unclear to me...

1:

Is it true that 'Triple Entry Tourist Visas' are no longer granted?

2:

"Incase of applying for Tourist visa for double entry or triple entry, ticket or booking paper must also show arrival date to Thailand for 2nd and 3rd entry as well.".

- I intend to buy a one-way ticket to Thailand and then do a Visa run by bus.

So how do I deal with this request of an onward ticket?

3:

While in Thailand and I want to get a +30days extension, do I have to show an onward ticket?

4:

Once a 60+30, 60+30 Double Entry expires, can one immediately go to a neighboring country and have a completely new Double Entry Visa granted?

1. Some Consulates will some will not issue.

2 No. Most people have no idea when they will use 2nd or 3rd entries.

3. No.

4. At the moment Yes.

1. Depends on issuing consulate.

2. No.

3. No.

4. Yes.

Consider getting a 1-year non immigrant O visa from the Consulate in Hull, UK.

Contact them about mailing your passport there.

The honourary consulate in Hull in the UK does triple entry visas which could get you close to 9 months on one cheap visa (60+30 x 3), by doing a visa run just before it expires to get the 3rd 60 days and then extension.

Fly to England, get the Visa in Hull and then get to London Heathrow for Cheap flights to BKK. Probably cost the same as flying to BKK from Sweden.

Extensions of stay at 1,900 baht each do not make such a visa cheap. 3x1,900=5,700 baht plus the price of the three entry visa and three extra trips to immigration. A multi entry non immigrant O would be much better value.

the thai embassy in helsinki, finland requires plane tickets for all the entries which obviously makes no sense but that's the rules printed on their web site now

you can a triple from there also

Thanks for the replies guys.

But I'm curious why several have answered "NO" on the 2:nd, which is not a yes/no -question.

Like wtk says:

"the thai embassy in helsinki, finland requires plane tickets for all the entries which obviously makes no sense but that's the rules printed on their web site now"

How does one come around that annoying part????

Also... "Non immigrant O" - Isn't that for visiting family in Thailand?

(2.) You gave no source and the information is false - there is not such general requirement for visa information/tickets for each entry. If a specific Consulates requires it that is something that is a local issue and most do not. And what is on a web site may not always be what is really required.

Non Immigrant is issued for O (Other) reasons. Meaning not fitting work/tourist/education family of visas.

"Copy of your flight ticket or booking paper showing date of arrival to and date of departure from

Thailand. Incase of applying for Tourist visa for double entry or triple entry, ticket or booking paper

must also show arrival date to Thailand for 2nd and 3rd entry as well."
