Rigby40 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Hi all, I am set to leave to Malaysia for a day or two so that I can re-enter thailand on my 2nd(of 3) Tourist visas. Someone(another tourist) had told me that I would need to get a re-entry permit or else I could risk losing my tourist visas all together and possibly not being allowed back in or just ending up with a 30 day visa exempt stamp. I just want to see if this has been anyone else's experience and not just another rumor. Ideally I would like to go to Malaysia and be back in Thailand the next day or same day if at all possible but I don't know if this will be an issue if I don't get a re-entry permit. Thanks in advanced for any insight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryLH Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 If the visa is still valid, and you have an entry left, you don't need a re-entry permit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 The re-entry would only apply keeping the current permitted to stay alive - it has nothing to do with a new visa entry. The permitted entry using a re-entry permit would only be the same as your current stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 A re-entry permit is certainly not needed to do an entry with a tourist visa that is still valid and has unused entries remaining. A re-entry permit would only be issued for the remaining days on your current entry anyway.. You should not have a problem getting your next entry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rigby40 Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 ok because a few weeks ago i read that even with a multientry tourist visa people would still not be guaranteed to get in. But this is my first tourist visa and I've only been to Thailand two times before, staying 2 weeks my first trip and two weeks my second, earlier this year. And I don't want to risk not being able to come back in because I have a few pets that I need to take care of. My gf will be back around the beginning of Sept so I would hate for me to be stuck in Malaysia or have to go back home while my pets don't have any food for a few days until my gf gets back!

ubonjoe Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I don't what you reading but it was wrong. Also there is no multiple entry tourist visas they are issued by the number entries calling it that can just confuses things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rigby40 Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 correct, it's a 'triple entry visa' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
