Just cleared with no blacklist and want to return. I am told education visa will take a few weeks. Would I be okay getting a double entry tourist visa for now and getting an education visa afterwards? Thank you

A single or two entry visa would be good.

Where will you be entering the country at?

will be OK, but not every Royal Thai Embassy will issue Double Entry Tourist Visa.

You can also reenter via land border after the tourist visa has been granted.

Planning on returning by air from cambodia

Planning on returning by air from cambodia

No problem if you have a tourist visa when you return.

If I am travelling to Myanmar for a week late next month might it be better to try a visa exempt entry or apply for a tourist visa I'm Myanmar? If a single entry is all I get here it seems like a waste of money if both are equally likely to get me back in. I would like to maximize the tourist visa since they are limiting these

Don't see a way to edit the post but I'm also curious about whether using a travel agent or tipping an embassy guard for a speedier processing would be a good idea or not. Much appreciate all the ideas this is a very stressful time for me. I am away from my family and don't wish to be.

You should try to get a 2 entry at the embassy in Yangon.. Even a single entry would be better than getting an exempt entry,

It is next day service for visas there. No report of being able to get it faster.

Visa exempt entries are the only thing they are tightening up on.

If your family is Thai you have lots of options.

 

 

 

How long an overstay did you have ? Where did you fly out ? And to where ?  Hope you will answer...Thank you !

Overstayers for four years. Unfortunately my family is Shan from Myanmar and have to jump through the visa hoops also
Flied from DMK to pnom Penh. Since in in Cambodia first should I do tourist here? Or exempt here then fly to Yangon and get tourist there? Thanks forth help I will keep posting updates also

Thai embassy in PP will only give you a single entry tourist visa. They may refuse to give you that with the overstay. Please do let us know.

-sickntired-

 

But, I would try it in PP, also if its only a one entry TV. Who knows, what in Myanmar will happen at the Embassy there.

 

I would use a Visa agent in PP, easy normally no hassle, not expensive, 50 Dollar including Visa fee.

 

Made it more times with the reception in FLAMINGOS Hotel, my prefered Hotel  in PP, did not even see the agent, did not wrote or signed any paper.

Got Passport back, done.

Seems like if I get a single entry visa here then fly to Thailand then to Myanmar, at that point they will not issue another tourist visa is that likely?

That has been never reported, so is not likely. Double entry tourist visa are routinely issues in Laos also. For a triple entry go to Hanoi.

If you can get a double entry in Yangoon, could you not fly direct from PP and save any grief of an additional entry through Thailand?

Good luck in getting in to thailand
And 4 years man..

I not sure they should let ppl back with attitudes like this. Just saying...

Edited July 31, 201411 yr by mataleo

I could go to Myanmar before Thailand I suppose I haven't thought of this, but I did want to return.before august 12 when they start tightening.up their visa rules. I could also just not go to Myanmar

Why do YOU have to come down on him ? Who do you think you are ? He is asking for advice, not your personal opinion on who they should allow in to Thailand.  JERK !!!

 

 

Thank you Sick.....and Thank you Alfredo. Good information

Friend of mine had an overstay of 1 year.

Went out from CNX to BKK to PP. He got a tourist visa in PP then flew back to Thailand at BKK Airport (the overstay stamp was in his passeport and the officer saw it) they only asked him what he's planning to do this time around and he told them he want to get an ED visa. They let him in with smile, no problems.

You will be fine. If i had a suggestion i would say, go to PP and go to any hotel (11 Happy backpacker my preference) and ask them for the visa service (45$ USD and you have to wait 4 days, 55$ for 3 days) then they give you back your passeport with a new tourist visa. After that, just fly to BKK airport.

The chance of getting refused are very low at the moment. Just get ready in case they ask you question, be polite and relax.

If you're unlucky and they refuse you, i'm pretty sure you can go back to a country near and from there try to go by Udon.

But i'm pretty sure they will let you in

That's actually not quite right. There are international flights from Don Muang.

Didn't know that. Thanks for clarifying :)

If my biggest concern is maximizing time in Thailand and I'm currently in Cambodia like now, is it a mistake to get a tourist visa here? Maybe it's better to try a visa exempt return and then get a double entry visa in Yangon and an educational visa afterwards. Interested to hear thoughts on this
