Tulsi joins the party of Common Sense

I'm British 45 and wish to visit for about 6 months to 1 year, then enter one of the neaby Coutries for a while.

Reading through the Visa forms, it says 3 entries for £84. Will this entitle me to stay for 9 months, by leaving on third month for a stamp from near by Laos or whatever ?.

Whats the likelyhood of issue with these now ? Very confusing.

Below is taken from the form. Thank you.

If you have been granted a Tourist Visa please note the following:-

With a ONE entry Tourist Visa you must ensure you enter Thailand within the validity of the visa which is 3 months from date of issue.

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.

If you get it and it is valid for six months (not all are) you enter for 60 day stay and can extend for another 30 days upon payment of 1,900 baht to Immigration and then must exit/return to do again (and again). But you may only enter during validity of visa itself so once the 3 or 6 months validity (stamp on visa) has expired it can not be used for another entry even if you did not use them all.

Hi, Is it worth trying for a longer one ? Seems like their making it difficult to go there now.

Which type, how long and costs if known.

Thank you.

A 3 Entry Tourist Visa would be the most you would get.

The validity will be 6 months if applying in Hull.

With 3 extensions and 2 border runs you will get almost 9 months stay.
