Sd12 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Hello. I wonder if anyone could give me info on the rule regarding flight dates if i was to extend my tourist visa over land every 15 days up to the 90 day limit. Would i need a return flight dated for 30 days in order to enter the country or could it be dated for for the 90 day limit. I would really appreciate some advice. Thanks.

Sceptict11 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 You cannot "extend" a tourist visa by exiting Thailand overland. Nor is there a 90 day limit ! If you have a tourist visa then it can be extended by 30 days by application to your nearest immigration office. What are you intending ? Do you in fact have (or are intending to apply for) a tourist visa which will give you 60 days in country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sd12 Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 Thanks for the reply. No, i am married to a thai lady and we have a one year old daughter and have been whacked with the new non o rules as i dont have 800,000 baht in my bank or a monthly income of 65,000( i easily make that every month but am self employed so how can they expect me to make money when i am not here?!) i was just hoping now to visit my wife for a few months at the end of the year and just thought about arriving "visa free" and extending my stay by 15 days each time across the Lao border which is only about an hours drive from where we stay. I will only be staying for 3 months and can only see this way to achieve this. Unless i am not thinking sensibly about this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryLH Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 "Unless i am not thinking sensibly about this!" There are easier ways to stay a couple of months. As already mentioned, a tourist visa will give you 60 days and can easily be extended for an additional 30 days for a total of 90 days. Or, on any entry you can get a 60 day extension from immigration to visit your wife. You'd need to take your wife with you to your local immigration office along with your marriage certificate, her ID card and House Registration book. Some copies of your passport also. I married to a Thai the financial requirement is 400,000 baht in a Thai bank or 40,000 income per month. The amounts you posted are for retirement extensions.

Sceptict11 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) Apply for a single entry Non "O" visa with your marriage cert. and copies of your wife's ID card and house book. The non "O" will give you 90 days and you can then apply for a 60 day extension to "visit your wife" using the same evidence. edit NB when applying for the 60 day "extension" be sure to take your wife with you to the immigration office.

Lite Beer Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 The requirements for a Non O Visa if applying in UK appear to be 800,000 in the bank or 65,000 monthly income. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/668516-all-non-o-visas-from-hull-now-need-800k-bht-in-the-bank/ The OP would need to apply for Tourist Visas. 1,2 or 3 entry depending on how long he wants to stay.

ubonjoe Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Get a single entry tourist visa so you don't need a ticket out of the country with in 30 of arrival the extend your 60 day by 60 days. Or instead of the extension go to Savannakhet Laos and get a multiple entry O visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sd12 Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 Thanks for the replies. Greatly appreciated. I have applied for a tourist visa and am still waiting for the visa. I am just wondering if because i have went on a marriage non o for the last couple of years, before the new rule came in, i may not get it, and instead be told to apply for a marriage non o.

streetlite Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I apologize for intruding on this posters subject but I have a question about a Visa. I have a friend who will be visiting for 45 days. He does not have a tourist Visa but will be coming in on a 30 Visa. We are going to visit Vietnam during his stay about 2 weeks into his trip. When he flies back to Thailand from Vietnam will he be issued a new 30 day stamp. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Yes But he could be asked to show a ticket out of the country with in those 30 days by the airline. Same as for his flight here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, what do I have to produce at immigration and do you know how much this costs? Cheers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Your passport/copies of data/arrival/visa/departure card and filled out TM.7 form with 4x6cm photo attached and payment of 1,900 baht fee. Anyone can extend a real tourist visa entry for 30 days for tourist reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 If you have a 60 day tourist visa entry (not a 30 or 15 days visa exempt entry) you can easily get a 30 day extension at immigration. Just need copies of passport photo page, visa, entry stamp and GM6 departure card. Complete a TM7 application form and attach a 4cm X 6cm photo. Plus 1900 baht for fee.

FiestyFarang Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Double Entry or Triple Entry Tourist Visas are available in Laos, near where you stay. If you are from one of the 30 Visa exempt countries you can go across every 15 days as far as I know there is no limit. Or obtain a Visa in your home country. I am not 100% sure if there is a limit on land crossing but by air there is not as I did it for two years going out every month. Fly to Singapore/KL and back same day.

Sd12 Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 As another poster mentioned. I suppose someone could book a one way Air Asia flight to Malaysia or Singapore as evidence of leaving Thailand within 30 days. Only about 2500baht.
