tort Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Has anyone had any recent experience of applying for Treble Entry Tourist Visas from Birmingham or Hull consulates? Both consulates form downloads show availability and price for these but do they actually give them out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I do not see why they would not issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Contact them first and also check the validity of the visa with them. If it has to be used within 6 months it might not be worth it (depending on your actual travel plans). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tort Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 Thanks. I presume they are 6 month validity. I thought it would be better to get treble entry as I'll be based in Nong Khai so exit/entry is less hassle than (unguaranteed) extensions from the local immigration office.

Lite Beer Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Yes 6 months. The 30 day extension will be no problem. it is routinely given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tort Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 Near the end of the 6 months is it still feasible to get a double entry visa from Vientiane to get another 2-3 months or is this one of the things they have clamped down on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 You should make that border run not later than one day before the "enter before" or "must be utilized before" date shown on the visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a 100% success rate, however this has all pertained to O-visas, before the clamp down. Presumably it should be the same with tourist visas, but I cannot confirm this. Understand that you're looking for confirmation, however it's quite easy to just send them and email and ask if they will do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtk Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 never received a reply but sent my passport there anyway and was issued a triple entry tourist visa. very fast service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soon2bexpat Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I spoke to Hull earlier this week regarding visas, and the lady I spoke to said no problem getting a triple entry tourist visa issued. If you make an appointment they will even do it there and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 From Hull website. With a TWO or THREE entry Tourist Visa you must ensure you enter Thailand on your final visit before expiry of the visa which is 6 months from date of issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTH Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Thanks Lite Beer. I've seen it in their paperwork. Just wanted a confirmation from someone who's just received one. Have a friend that needs a new visa, and was planning on having him go this route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattaya46 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 If it has to be used within 6 months it might not be worth it Why? Not sure to understand. Even with a 6 months validity, a triple-entry give you up to 9 months. Worth it I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
