hi guys, quick question for lady from uk. she got 15 xtra days crossing from laos to thailand. she has 4 days left. can she go to immigration at bangkok and get 30 days more. a quick reply is appreciated. talking to her on skype now.

thanks

15days meant she had an exempted visa and she with gets another 7days from immigration

No.

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.

Only way to get a 30 day would be to leave and enter by AIR that would get her another 30 days.

15 days at a land border.

30 days by air.

7 days at Immigration.

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 .... ?

Suspect it is a mistype because of this other thread - still 30 days visa exempt by air.

Yep. Mistype using the phone.

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?

Yes it is for most nationalities.

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

If you married to Thai just visit immigration with wife and proof of marriage to obtain a 60 day extension of stay.
