Triple Entry Visa Questions..

[davidst01]

Triple entry visa question….The facts are as follows:

-07 DEC 2011: issue date of tourist visa valid for three entries into Thailand; must be used before 06 JUN 2012

-17 DEC 2011: your arrival in Thailand, with permission to stay until 14 FEB 2012

-Prior to the 14 FEB 2012, I applied for a 30-day extension of stay at the local immigration office, using form TM.7, and my permission to stay was extended until 15 MAR 2012.

-On the 13 MAR 2012, I did a border run to activate your second entry into Thailand. I received again permission to stay for 60 days to the 11^th May.

-Tomorrow on the 11^th May I intend to get another 30 day extension which will take it to the 9^th June??

Questions:

1. It looks like the expiry date is the 6^th June. Tomorrow will immigration still stamp me 30 days to the 9^th June?

2. Does it mean that I have to do a border run 1 day prior to the expiry i.e. on the 5^th June to activate the third and last entry into Thailand. Will I be able to get a final 30 day extension? Is this all legal and ok to do this?

3. If the answer is yes to question 2 then will I have to fly out of Thailand to Laos and apply for another triple entry visa? Do they issue triple entry visas to Australian passport holders. Basically I want to repeat the above process and stay long term in Thailand like this? Is this possible?

thanks

1. Yes full 30 days to 9 June.

2. Yes you need to enter on the 6th or before for the final entry but most people believe you have to do one day early due to English wording (and Immigration used to occasionally agree) so best to do one day early to avoid any chance of problem. You can again extend the 3rd entry.

3. No. First they will not issue such a visa and second you need to use your current visa before you obtain another unless you just don't want to use it.
