E1717007 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 15days meant she had an exempted visa and she with gets another 7days from immigration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossy Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 As above, best she'll do is 7 days and will likely need a ticket out during that period. Since the cost of any extension is 1900 Baht it's marginal whether another border hop would be easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieH Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Only way to get a 30 day would be to leave and enter by AIR that would get her another 30 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 15 days at a land border. 30 days by air. 7 days at Immigration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCM Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) 15 days at a land border. 14 days by air. 7 days at Immigration. LB, is that 14 days by Air a new rule or .... ? Edited December 2, 2011 by MJCM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Suspect it is a mistype because of this other thread - still 30 days visa exempt by air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Yep. Mistype using the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnAllan Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Hardly. If she could do that, everyone would be doing it, instead of, whenever necessary, leaving the country by air in order to obtain 30 days. FYI, she wouldn't get a 30 day extension with a 30 day entry; she wouldn't get one with a 60 day visa, but - off the top of my head - 14 days, plus 7 more.

Isn't a tourist visa good for 60 days? Plus a 30 day extension? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livingthedream Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Just looking for some info and arrived at this thread. To make things clear in my mind - after getting 15 days stamp for land a border crossing, can I then get another 15 days if I do another crossing 14 days later? Its just that I arrived with visa exemption because I had to get here back quickly (normally I would have a Non O ) and I will need to stay another 3 weeks after my 30 days runs out this week. I don't really want to get a Non O or Tourist visa as it would mean a nights stay in Laos and I don't really need that amount of days. This is just to get me past New Year then I'm back to work in UK . I know I could get the first 15 days and then extend for 7 but I would prefer the first option if it is feasible. Anyone done back to back land border crossings? many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 If you married to Thai just visit immigration with wife and proof of marriage to obtain a 60 day extension of stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
