thairookie Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Are we back to the good old days where there is no cap on the number of visa runs you can make ? Except that this time round instead of 30 days you get only 15 days ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 They may start asking questions after 3 or 4 runs although there's no official limit. Why not get a tourist visa, they're free at present Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Friend Same Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I guess that's ok if you live right next to the border but sounds like a hassle to travel to and fro every 15 days. As crossy says, double entry visas from vietiane make more sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thairookie Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 I have at least 7 or 8 TR Tourist Visas on my passport. They might not issue anymore to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tropo Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 (edited) I know of one Vietnamese national who has been getting 30 day entries for over 3 years at the Cabodian border. I didn't know Vietnamese get 30 days, but here you have it. This went on right through the "3 x 30 days and you're out" bad old days. I suggest that people asking questions about visas should state their nationalities. I believe Russians get 30 days too and as many as they want.

dancep Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 yes I met a Russian guy who was getting 30 days on land visa runs to Malaysia and he planned to do this for a year or more. Anyone know why they limited some countries to 15 days and not others? Am I from a 'hippie' country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaiphoon Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Thailand has bilateral agreements in place with a number of countries which give a different permission to stay period. Vietnamese and Russian nationals for example, as mentioned, get 30 days permission to stay on entry. Travellers from visa exempt countries get 30 days permission to stay if arriving by air, or 15 days at land border crossing. The number of days given at land border crossing was reduced from 30 to 15 in Dec-08 when the 90/180 day rule was dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
challenger99 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I know of one Vietnamese national who has been getting 30 day entries for over 3 years at the Cabodian border.

I believe Russians get 30 days too and as many as they want. As I know all citizens from ASEAN countries have special conditions as eg. Filipino no need any visa to go eg to Vietnam. For Russia rather a joke: we have less and less european and some chinese, korean tourists here. Maybe Thailand smell the Perestrojka Dollar which a certain group of Russian spend by kilogramm ......!!! So you notice many more establishments as immo agencies etc. use russian laanguage too. Good luck with this race of tourists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visarunner Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I have at least 7 or 8 TR Tourist Visas on my passport. They might not issue anymore to me. you might be correct. You can apply at another Royal Thai Embassy/Consulate or get a new Passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
