No, as mentioned before Penang only issues single entry tourist visa. For double entry you must go to Laos.

Ok so just finally what does that mean? I pay 5000 baht and then do extensions for six months at 2000 baht a month??

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.

So can I get a six months tourist visa and do extensions after that for six months?

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.

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?

Sorry about this but still confused . 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?

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 !

OK so on the 15th Feb I can go to Maynmar and get the 2nd entry permitted by the visa?

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.

Maybe of topic.

Do you still need an airplaneticket (leaving Thailand) to apply a tourist-visa in Penang.

Surch around, one say yes others no. march.
