brent Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I have a friend on a double entry tourist visa and she has used her first 60 days, and now in the middle of her 2nd 60 day visa. I understand she can extend this at immigrations descretion for 30 days. My question is can she gain a visa on arrival 30 day stamp by leaving and re-entering Thailand, or is the only way she can extend with the immigration office in Thailand? If immigration grant the 30 day extension, does it start from the day she applies, or from the day her double entry expires? any help appreciated. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 She can only extend it at an immigration office and paying 1,900 baht. The extension starts from the date the current permission to stay ends. If she leaves the country and returns she will get 15 days if she returns at a land border and 30 days if she returns to Thailand by air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve187 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 cheaper to do at immigration at 1,900 baht, than it is to do a air border run for a 30 day visa exempt entry. if she is staying longer than 30days would be better to do a double entry tourist visa run. But it all depends on how long exactly she intends staying in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brent Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 Thanks for the help Steve and Mario. She's doing a Laos to Thailand land crossing, so will get 15 day visa on re-entry. Does any one know whether the maximum 90 days in 6 months rule,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, affected by the double entry tourist visa preceeding it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mario2008 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 The rule was indeed abolished and only applied to visa exempt entries anyway, never in combination with a visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brent Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 Thanks, I just noticed that Thailand consulates are issuing free tourist visa's so I think my friend is going to appy for another double entry visa while in Laos.:jap: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
