MMan Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) I've been living and working (and paying a lot of taxes) in Thailand for several years, on One Year Multiple Entry Non-Immigrant 'B' Visas. Until today, every time I've entered Thailand I've been given a 90 Day stamp.Today I did a border crossing and back at Nong Khai / Vientianne, but was only given a 30 Day stamp upon re-entry into Thailand. I did not notice it until after I had left Nong Khai. My Visa does not expire until July.Did they change the rules? Or did Immigration just make a mistake? The taxi driver I hired in Udon Thani to take me to Nong Khai and back said he thinks if I had stayed overnight 1 night in Laos I would have been given 90 days, but obviously he's no expert on immigration law. Anyone with expertise able to answer this? Edited January 4, 2014 by MMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sceptict11 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Probably a simple error . Your local immigration office may be able to correct /------------ If not a journey back to the border will be needed. Remember always check prior to leaving the immediate vicinity of immigration !

Tomtomtom69 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Even if you spend only 1 minute in Laos, you'll be given whatever permission to stay your passport/visa combination allows upon returning to Thailand. There is no requirement to spend any minimum amount of time abroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
