Might depend on what passport you are holding

Are you sure you have a Tourist Visa

They are usually for a stay of 60 days

(but it seems some passports are now

restricted to an initial 30)

Advice would really depend on how long you wish to stay on your subsequent visit.

If you DO have a 60 day tourist visa you might wish to preserve

the rest of your 60 days with a re-entry permit.

If you really mean you are entering on a Visa Free 30 days

then the new restrictions on these are the subject of many other

posts - just browse around

30 day entry is not a visa entry but an entry without visa. If you are from one of the countries allowed this entry you receive the 30 days each time you enter - when you leave it ends. When you enter again you receive a new 30 day entry. Under the new rules you can enter this way until you have used 60 days in a six month period and any entry after that will be limited to a total of 90 days and at that point you will not be allowed to enter again using visa free entry. Only time will tell if it really works as we expect but by early December we should have a good feel for it.

Looks like you missed my opening ...

Depends on which passport you are holding

Despite the advice given in the Instructions for posting

which you chose to ignore about telling us which passport you are holding

The fact is that some Passport holders are being given

an initial 30 day stay on a Tourist visa - you said Tourist visa

- so how were we to know that you are not one of them ???
