paz Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 That's what I thought, When I was in Vientiane 3 months ago the guys outside that do the paper work for you said for 5000 baht they would get a tourist visa for me for six months, I didn't go for that thought it was doggy, Double entry tourist visa (six months after extensions) cost Bt 2,000 directly applied at the consular section.

paz Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Double entry tourist visa (six months after extensions) cost Bt 2,000 directly applied at the consular section. Can I do THIS In Penang? No, as mentioned before Penang only issues single entry tourist visa. For double entry you must go to Laos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok so just finally what does that mean? I pay 5000 baht and then do extensions for six months at 2000 baht a month?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. As explained before, you pay Bt 2,000 at the consulate in Laos. Each extension is Bt 1,900, paid at immigration in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDJMecanic Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 So can I get a six months tourist visa and do extensions after that for six months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 You will get a 2 entry tourist visa (2000 baht) that will be valid for 3 months. You extend the 1st entry at immigration for 30 days and then leave and re-enter the country using the 2nd entry before the enter before date on the visa and then extend that 60 day entry for 30 days. This gives a total stay of about 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDJMecanic Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 Thanks for all your help, Am I right in thinking that I have my visa stamped till the 15th of Feb Sunday but my visa says the 16th .I'm going to go Vientiane but if I go on the train I will have to go Saturday cos I will have an overstay cos the train that goes Sunday evening doesn't get in till the Monday morning 16th. Also when you say for the 6 months tourist visa I have to leave the country is it ok to go Rayong and go across to Myanmar to get the stamp? How much does a work permit cost?

The last visa I got was from vientaine and it is a double entry visa I extended it at Imagration after 60 day for 30 days, Do I have to go to Laos to get a new double entry visa or where can I go ? Cab I go to Kanchanaburi ir Rayong? and get it extendedf there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzexpat Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) This what you do! 1. Go to Laos and obtain a two entry (double) tourist visa from one of the Thai Consulates. 2. Enter Thailand (using the first of the two entries allowed by the visa) You will be given permission to stay for 60 days 3. Toward the end of the 60 days apply for a 30 day extension at a Thai immigration office . 4. When approaching the end of the 30 day extension LEAVE Thailand ! (ie enter another country) 5. Return to Thailand (using the 2nd entry permitted by the visa) You will be given permission to stay for 60 days 6. Toward the end of the 60 days apply for a 30 day extension at a Thai immigration office . 7 When approaching the end of the 30 day extension LEAVE Thailand !

nzexpat Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 If you are certain that you currently have a valid double entry tourist visa you could go to Myanmar and return to Thailand to activate the second entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFerearnk Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Maybe of topic. Do you still need an airplaneticket (leaving Thailand) to apply a tourist-visa in Penang.
