whimsy Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 I plan to arrive in Bangkok, stay 3 or 4 days, then go to Vietnam for a week and then come back to Thailand to stay for 6 months. If I already have a double entry tourist visa in my passport will I have to use up one entry for my initial 3 day stay in Thailand or can I enter on a 30 day visa on arrrival and save my tourist visas to use on my return from Vietnam? I have an Australian passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 You can ask and they probably will do so. Just don't write any visa information on your arrival card and ask for a 30 day stamp because you are leaving that week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the man won't do as you ask you can protect the rest of the 60 days he stamps by getting a re-entry permit before you head off to Vietnam.

visarunner Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 If the Immigration Officer sees the Visa he will , most likely , use/stamp it. You already mention a double entry Tourist Visa, so to be on the save side you can apply for a 2,3 or even 4 entry Tourist Visa. Would save you a lot and gives peace of mind.

Personally i likes Lops idea............be polite and ask for the 30 day stamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whimsy Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 Thanks for your suggestions. Think I will try asking for the 30 day stamp. Unfortunately, the Embassy in Canberra will not issue a triple tourist visa. The most they will give is a double. I think the Sydney Consulate is the same.

Patex Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 ...Unfortunately, the Embassy in Canberra will not issue a triple tourist visa... Why?? Is there an explanation? I always get/got my tripple tourist visa in a small konsulate in Austria (not Australia ) can't remember for sure but I think already 10 times, one after another.

briley Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I got a 30 day entry with a second 60 day tourist visa still valid, but you have to make sure the immigration officer is aware of what you want by saying clearly you want a 30 day visa exemption. I am surpirsed you can't find an Australian consulate that will give you a multiple - annual - tourist visa. Some people recomend Brisbane? The cost is just over 10% more than a double entry visa.

seville Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I had no problem at the airport when I asked that they not activate my 60 day dbl for the same reason you don't want them to activate yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
