mrkrabs Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 I got it in my home country before. Yeah, now since rules have changed again, I guess only a tourist visa or edu visa would be possible. My home country is Germany by the way. Currently we are in Chiang Rai, but in 3 weeks will head back to Koh Phangan. At now we just passed the Myanmar border the other day, since our visa ran out a week ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would take a guess that you are under 50 years old . The best option for you would either be to go to Vientiane in Laos and get a double entry tourist visa, which Is still free at the moment or travel to Penang and possibly get the same there but as far as I know they dont like issuing double entries only single entry tourist visa's. Education visa's can be obtained , try the Walen school , its advertised on Thai visa . Any other questions maybe go to the main visa information page : http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/forum/1-thai-visas-residency-and-work-permits/ Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worthless comments for worthless problems. I'm not the one running around without a visa. Where do you think you're going to get a visa? 7/11?

Riggi Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 If you crossed into Myanmar at Mai Sai you probably need to leave the country to get another visa. You effectivelycancelled your non immigrant O visa and replaced it with a transit (or bridging) visa. I had a nonimmO visa that expired in Dec. I was in the process of trying to get it extended and since I was in Mae Sai visiting the immigration office I thought I'd go and see Tachilek in Myanmar. The lady at the Thai checkpoint said that since my visa had only 7 days left, if I crossed the boarder I'd get 15 more days. She neglected to tell me that it would completely cancel my nonimm O and prevent me from getting an extension. When Iwent back to the immigration office a few days later they said that crossing into Myanmar cancelled my non imm O visa and they couldn't extend it now! I ended up having to go to Penang for another non-imm O. Wasn't too bad as I was going down south for new year anyway, but a hassle non the less.

Paul888 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I had a nonimmO visa that expired in Dec.

She neglected to tell me that it would completely cancel my nonimm O and prevent me from getting an extension. I think that could be an error (unless it is a recent change). When you returned to Thailand from Myanmar you had a valid non O visa (even though it was only 7 days) and should have been stamped 3 months not 15 days. I had a similar thing happen last year and got the usual 3 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you leave on a normal visa you will only get 15 days on re-entry and the visa will be void from that day of exit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
