ubonjoe Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 It would be best to get a tourist visa while you are in Malaysia. It would give you a 60 entry. You will only get a 15 day entry at a border crossing. Then you could get a 30 day extension of that entry at an immigration office for a fee of 1900 baht. Then you could try to get another 15 day entry by doing a border run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwoz Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Thank-you for info. If I was to fly into Thailand would I need to show exit booking for 30 days or less, or can I book an exit for 60 days or less and get 30 day visa free extension after arrival ?

ubonjoe Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 The airline can ask for a to see a ticket out of the country within 30 days of arrival. A one way to ticket to a nearby country will be accepted. To a apply for the 30 day extension at immigration you will not need to show a ticket out of the country.

Kiwoz Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 Hi, I have now flown into Bangkok a few days ago from Australia and want to get extra 30 day visa exempt. I believe I can go to Thai Consular at Watthana Road, Lak-Si to do this. However some helpful folks advise me that that this is not so easy. They inform me that I will need copies of my passport & 2 photos and a legitimate reason for longer stay and not to make application until my first 30 days exempt is nearly expired. Is this all correct? At what time should I apply for the extra 30 days? Thankyou in advance for help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwoz Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 Will I need to show another ticket out of Thailand at the end of the next 30 days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 You can apply for a 30 day extension of your visa exempt entry at Chaeng Wattana immigration (there are no consular sections in Thailand). Location info here: http://bangkok.immigration.go.th/en/location1.html If not in Bangkok you can apply at any immigration office if you have a local address to put on the application form. You will need a completed TM7 form with an attached 4cm X 6m photo. No need for 2 photos. You will need a copy of your passport photo page, entry/permit to stay stamp and TM6 departure card. You do not need to prove you have a legitimate reason to apply for thee extension. You can apply a couple of weeks early for the extension. Edit: No ticket out is needed.

Kiwoz Posted July 11, 2015 Author Share Posted July 11, 2015 Please verify for me. Is it acceptable to fly from Bkk to Malaysia and back in the one day and get 30 day exempt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Yes you can fly out and back on the same day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritTim Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 A word of warning: if you decide to get a tourist visa, do not plan on doing it in Kuala Lumpur. They are known to take a sadistic pleasure in finding every excuse they can to make visa applications there difficult. Most convenient will likely be Penang if you are traveling overland.

Kiwoz Posted July 11, 2015 Author Share Posted July 11, 2015 I was only looking to get 30 day exempt by flying in & out of KL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
