I agree with what you say to a certain extent, if you really want to be prepared then best way to go is get a visa from your home country. just to make you aware, there is no double entry tourist visa now, only single or multi. An ED visa might be the way forward for you but these days you do actually have to meet the criteria to keep them valid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jethro69 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 1 hour ago, perthperson said: You might not be allowed to board the flight if you have no visa and no onward flight out of Thailand within 30 days. A single entry tourist visa could be applied for in Vientiane. I guess I've been luck then in the past. My tickets always go out of BKk, means on the return trip I had no onward ticket, never was asked neither from an airline nor from immigration. Ok the climate has changed and at least for the METV you'll need a ticket anyway. As for the OP, if still 50 days before the travel, I would wait b4 METV at least my visa started when I dropped the paperwork, which is utter nonsense, they require a ticket into Thailand, so why not put that date on? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farang95 Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 no problem i just bought a one way bkk-vientiane ..for the end of the 30 days.......... no big deal ... the question is when you go to vientiane thai embassy to apply for a single tourist entry ? or a METV ... they will still want personal information about you ? bank recipe ? specific location adress in thailand ?

BritTim Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 5 hours ago, farang95 said: ticket to go to lao ...and apply for a multi-entry tourist visa good plan ? or too risky? You cannot get a multiple entry tourist visa in Laos, or anywhere else except France. If you really want to travel without visa, I suggest the following: Book a return flight to Ho Chi Minh City before you leave, leaving about 29 days after your arrival in Thailand. That will satisfy the requirement for an onward flight when using a visa exempt entry for Thailand. Enter Thailand visa exempt : first ~30 day stay Just before going to Ho Chi Minh City, book a return flight to Hong Kong, leaving about 89 days after your return from Vietnam. Get a single entry tourist visa in Ho Chi Minh City. Return to Thailand. Enter Thailand on tourist visa 60 day stay, and near the end of that period get an extension of stay (an extra 30 days) At this point, it is about 4 months after your initial entry into Thailand Go to Hong Kong for a single entry tourist visa Enter Thailand 60-day stay plus 30 day extension. Near the start of that period, research further options. Note that you have avoided so far consulates allowing you to reenter Thailand by land (Vientiane, Savannakhet, Penang, possibly Phnom Penh and Yangon). That is deliberate as you will be using them next. Your visa runs from this point on should be planned with land reentry in mind, as being denied entry will be unofficial and capable of being circumvented by using other entry points. This probably seems onerous to you. The fact is that staying long periods in Thailand on tourist entries is nowadays fraught with risks, and needs to be carefully planned if you are to get away with it. If you can find a job (done properly with work permit) it will make your life a lot easier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farang95 Posted July 9, 2017 Author Share Posted July 9, 2017 Anyway am waiting for the approval of the visa.... i had option ...multiple entry and or single entry.... But i felt not so cool about showing a paper from the bank proving that i got some cash..... and the simple entry is simpler.... they just want to see you having more than 1000 euros.... so i did it ..i got lucky ...i could find a recipe... without giving much information .... so am waiting ...will know this thursday ... Hopefully i will have it .... will see !!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farang95 Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 thai embassy approval for a single tourist visa is the good new of the days.... thanks ya all for your motivation to do so .....

farang95 Posted July 16, 2017 Author Share Posted July 16, 2017 rapidevisa.fr ... if you french...this website is good for you to get a visa quickly especially if you live far from the thai embassy ...... It went really well... very quick .... and i got the visa....single entry tourist .... got two months to find what to do next .... but i have one question for you ............... as a french i can go thailand without visa for a month .... but when i will arrive just like the previous time they will make the visa start right at that time of the arrival ...so it mean that one free month of stay without visa i can't enjoy it .... it would have been cool to have 30 days free of visa.... thinking of asking this to the guys at immigration check in at the airport...but they look very strict ..so maybe better not try yo do so........
