symzie Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Hello again, well I've resigned from my job and want to come to Thailand. I don't want to work, or run a business, or buy property anymore, I just want to come and relax and travel around for as long as I can (maybe 6 months or longer) and use this time to look into things and then maybe look at a more permanent situation I'm British, 39 nearly 40 years old. What would be my best visa, I expect I'll need to renew it a few times Symzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodles Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Apply for a 2 month tourist visa from Hull or Cardiff Thai Consulates. This is then extendable for 1 month more at immigration offices in Thailand. If you plan on staying longer, you can go to Penang in Malaysia and apply for a 6 month tourist visa. Have a nice stay.

george Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Apply for a double entry Tourist visa before travelling to Thailand. That will give you 60 days+30 days extension. Then a border run and back, and you will get next set of 60+30 days. Total 180 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

symzie Posted February 14, 2004 Author Share Posted February 14, 2004 Thanks that sounds perfect, just one more question Is there a limit to how many times this tourist visa can be renewed? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_Pat_Pong Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 Thanks that sounds perfect, just one more questionIs there a limit to how many times this tourist visa can be renewed? Thanks there is the trick....that is entirely up to the consul at wherever you subsequently apply. But they are against long term stays on tourist visa's.

symzie Posted February 14, 2004 Author Share Posted February 14, 2004 Ok but surely there's a limit to how many consuls are practicle, Penang and a few others right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_Pat_Pong Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 Ok but surely there's a limit to how many consuls are practicle, Penang and a few others right? Because of the sheer number of visa applicants in the Asian region, it is tougher in this region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
symzie Posted February 14, 2004 Author Share Posted February 14, 2004 It's another very cryptic answer, the whole of Thailand is in Asia, what are you trying to say, it's tougher in the penang region, it's tougher in the whole of Asia, I rarley understand your answers sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one does it in Asia the Thai missions and posts are very very busy. Was this too cryptic for you ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
