Selenisis Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Hello everybody, I need some help to plan my future trip.I am French and my partner German so we both have a 30 days VISA exemption.I will fly to Phuket mid December for about 24 days, then I want to fly out of the country (from Bangkok to Nepal) for 20 days and then return to Bangkok for another 10 days direction Laos.Which means we will stay around 35 days in total but in two different times.I saw on an immigration website this sentence :"Furthermore, foreigners who enter the Kingdom under this Tourist Visa Exemption Scheme may re-enter and stay in Thailand for a cumulative duration of stay ofnot exceeding 90 days within any 6-month period from the date of first entry."Does it mean I will get a 30 days VISA arriving in Phuket + another 30 days VISA at my return in Bangkok ?Is this information up to date ? I thought it wasn't possible anymore.Thank you for your answers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 That rule was cancelled about two years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 That rule was cancelled about two years ago. More like six years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 You will have no problem making your trip as planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selenisis Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 That what I thought too bad Do I need to apply for a VISA before leaving ? I'm afraid to have problems at the border coming back from Nepal as I will have only 5 days left from my 30 days exemption. Can I get an extension at the airport on my way back or do I need to go the immigration in Bangkok prior to my trip in Nepal ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Selenisis. Joe said you will have NO problems. Your trip as planned will be fine, no need for tourist visas or anything else. You will get a 30 day exemption each time you arrive in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selenisis Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 Sorry, I misunderstood Joe as he said previously that this rule has been cancelled 6 years ago. I'm definitely happy that it does still work. Thank you both for your answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 The "90 days within any 6-month period" rule was cancelled years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selenisis Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 Ok, makes more sense now. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjmansions Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 you will have no problems as you are a regular tourist not a visa runner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KED Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 The only potential problem you might have is if you are flying from Europe to Thailand with a return ticket exceeding the 30 days - you will possibly be denied boarding by the airline unless you have either a ticket outside of Thailand within the 30 days or a tourist visa.

Selenisis Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 I'm coming from New Zealand and I will have a ticket to Nepal within 30 days but for the second entry I won't have any return ticket as I will go to Laos by bus. Can they denied me entry if I don't have any proof of leaving the country ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paz Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I'm coming from New Zealand and I will have a ticket to Nepal within 30 days but for the second entry I won't have any return ticket as I will go to Laos by bus. Can they denied me entry if I don't have any proof of leaving the country ? No problems at entry, it's about the airline. I don't think there will be any issue in Nepal, but check the following: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/754481-boarding-to-thailand-without-return-ticket/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selenisis Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 Thanks for the info, I will book my bus trip to Laos in advance just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
