6 Month In Thai, 6 Month In France, Etc.

[j507]

Hello, I've been reading a lot of threads about tourist visa issues. I understood that 3 tourist visa entries in my passeport would mean : difficulties to get a new TV (some have successed, whatever).

Is it possible to do this :

1/ 6 month in Thai, with 3 TV

60 + 60 + 60 days.

2/ 3 month in france, the time to do a new passeport,

3/ go back to thai, renew the process as long as I want

I'm sorry for the bad english, and I thank any of you who may answer me.

In fact, to be clear, I'm looking for a way to spend 6 months in Thai, 3 month in France (with my family), 6 month in Thai, etc. I just can't understand if this is simply possible. Is it ? Do I need to get new psseports anytime ? I'm reading that 2 tourist visa and you're out ... The information is so contradictory, it's realy hard to understand

and I'm so confused.

A Double Entry Tourist Visa will give you two entries of 60 days each.

Each entry can be extended at Immigration for a further 30 days.

This means a total of almost 6 months with a border run in the middle.

You should have no problems with this method. Apply for the Visas in France.

People who are having problems are applying in Asia after having a few back to back Visas already.

Ok thank's, Lite Beer.

So, if I understood :

1/ I get A Double Entry Tourist Visa, in France. Then I go to Thai, I "activate" my first entry when I come into the kingdom, I can stay 60 days, and I can extend it 30 days in the imm. office.

2/ Then, after 3 month (90 days) I do what you call "a border run" - i.e. I go to a side country, then I come back to Thai, and it activates my second 60 days entry, and I extend it at the Immigration.

3/ After 90+90 days, I come back to France, I spend some good time with my family, and I repeat the whole process whenever I want, without VISA issues (as long as I apply in France) ?

Best regards, and TY for your time.

Can't wait going to Thai

Yes. Thats the way it works. Immigration extension fee is 1,900 Baht.

Visit Immigration a few days before the 60 days are up.

You do not lose any time by going early.
