Without doing the research, I went to cambodia, then when I came back, I got the "on entry" 30 day visa stamp, cost me nothing but it's only 30 days.

Can I extend that visa by going to immigration? It will expire come the 14th of this month...

If I can not extend that one to 90 days, how exactly do I get the 90 day Tourist Visa, I think I heard it costs $1,900 baht? Do I need to fly to Lao or can I get it from Cambodia?

I basic step by step quide would be very handy, I am sure many have asked this before, I hope someone can help me out.

Thanks,

you can extend the entry you have by another 30 days for 1,900 baht at local immigration office. after that you could get a double entry tourist visa in Laos, visa run services run from Pattaya and Bangkok, search on here.

You currently have a visa exempt entry and can extend that one by another 30 days for 1,900 baht at an immigration office.

You will need to fill in a form and provide a copy of your passport and departure card as well as a pass photo.

A tourist visa can be applied for at a Thai consulate abroad and gives you a stay of 60 days, which you can extend by 30 days same as above.

Might be easier to apply in Laos (Vientiane or Savanakhet).

The 30 day Exempt Entry at the airport can be extended by going to a Thai Immigration office -- apply and pay 1900 Baht ... 30 + 30 days...

60 day tourist visas - which can be extended by 30 more days need to be obtained at a Thai Embassy or Consulate outside Thailand. Penang, Malaysia, Vientiane, Laos. .... Malaysia is a fairly long flight from Bkk - a couple of hours or so -- but offset by no fee for visa on entry.

Extend a 60 Day Tourist Visa - go to a Thai Immigration office - fill out the form and pay 1900 Baht.

Thanks everyone for the answers.

I posted this not long ago .

As stated by someone ...................you can use a company for the visa run .................BUT it is not very difficult ----------------actually VERY EASY to do it all yourself.

It comes down to if you can get to Udon Thani , then Vientienne with ease or not.

This is from another OP posting about Visa 'issues' that I think is also relevent here: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/805995-rejected-at-burma-thai-border/

I would like to add to this discussion a warning to all people who have been and/or still are engaging in 'border runnings'. The current Thai Government is changing many things, and many of them will stay after they leave power. I believe that one of the changes to stay will be the crackdown on the complicated and clearly decitful practice of 'border runnings'. Lets face it, the rules are clear - if not enforced - and what has become a common practice of doing these 'runs' as a means to get around the rules, are coming to an end. The Thai Goverment will (slowly) start enforcing the rules to stop people who are staying in Thailand by these dubious means. Now before anyone starts ranting about being a good person and spending money etc etc - the rules are there to stop 'bad' people coming and going at will (see global issues) and also to stop people who abuse the 'right' to live in Thailand. If you are from an 'approved' country (most) there are many means to obtain a long term Visa to stay in Thailand long term. Unfortunately some people dont fit into any of these catagories and they will have trouble staying long term in the future. But they should think about this - can a Thai person come and stay in their country indefinitely?

There is rumour that the Thai Govt is looking at changing the Visa rules to make it easier for 'desirable' persons to stay longer - anyone who knows Thai ways will know this could take a long time. Meanwhile, anyone doing this border running practice should reconsider how they do it, and as per the good advice of vinniekintana and others, plan ahead and have a plan B and C. Better still, if you can afford it, then take the advice of some who advise to fly back home (or to another approriate country) and then come back again a few days later. This whole area is being reviewed and will change in the future, til then irregular and random enforcement will occur more and more - I suggest you should be prepared for the worst if you try in the near future. I also suggest that you do this even if someone says on TV "I just did it and there was no problem". Besides the fact that some idiots deliberately post false posts as they think it is funny, the border rules enforcement will be irregular and random - the next one to be in this guy's situation could be you.
