Captain Haddock Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I'm planning to enter the Sadao border by car for 3 weeks next week. Is the VOA still only valid for 2 weeks, or has it changed recently? If still 2 weeks, would it be better to visit the local Thai embassy and get a tourist visa (still free, right?) that's valid for 30 days? Otherwise I guess I'll have to pay 1,000bt for a 7 day extension, yeah? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennkate Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 PS What's the overstay per day at the moment? 500 Baht per day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Haddock Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 PS What's the overstay per day at the moment? 500 Baht per day Yup, found that one out, hence my edit, thanks. Any idea about the main question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beechguy Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 PS What's the overstay per day at the moment? 500 Baht per day Yup, found that one out, hence my edit, thanks. Any idea about the main question? Depending on nationality of course, "Visa Exempt" entries allow a stay of 15 days if entering by land, and 30 days if entering by air. A Tourist Visa would give a 60 day permission to stay, and that could be extended by another 30 days for 1900 Baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Yep. 15 days. A free Tourist Visa would give 60 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Haddock Posted December 10, 2010 Author Share Posted December 10, 2010 How much would it cost to extend the 15 day VOA by a week? 1,000bt? 500bt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klauswernst198 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 1900 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 All extensions of stay are the same price. 1,900 baht. And a seven day is not a real extension of stay but only an under review period which may require proof of exit tickets (which you might not have if driving). Tourist visa is still free.

Captain Haddock Posted December 10, 2010 Author Share Posted December 10, 2010 Righto, thanks. Guess I'll either use the embassy if they can do a same day turnaround, or it'll be a border run to top up on whiskey and wine for the season halfway through my visit! May all make merry...
