Guest Posted May 16, 2001 Report Share Posted May 16, 2001 Seeing I cannot search the old board anymore. I remember seeing somthing with regards to flying in to BKK and getting a double entry visa, which I can extend each for another 60 days. Anyone know anything about this. 13 days.

Guest Posted May 17, 2001 Report Share Posted May 17, 2001 Flying into BKK and getting a double-entry visa? No way, Siree/Ma'am! If you're are a citizen of the 60 or so more privileged countries on this planet, you'll get 30 days on arrival, valid for one stay - no double entry. You can extend that by a week, but that's it. Check with your nearest Thai consulate/embassy what the regulation is for your particular nationality. Citizens of less privileged countries get a 15-day visa at the airport in BKK. It's advisable to get a tourist visa (60 days) from the Thai consulate/embassy, and usually they also grant double entry tourist visas. This rule may be different in some countries; in the Thai embassy in Singapore, for example, all visas granted are but single entry - no double entry EVER (neither tourist or non-immigrant), no matter how much you plead.

Guest Posted May 17, 2001 Report Share Posted May 17, 2001 Scum_Baggio You can extend the 30 day visa by 10 days, for a cost of 500 baht. There are some countries that get a 90 day visa at the airport. New Zealand use to be one, but when they starting asking Thais for visas the Thai's stoped giving them 90 day visas and now only give 30. I think Danes still get 90 day visas. Samuigeorge.

ThaiHome Posted May 17, 2001 Report Share Posted May 17, 2001 It seems that Thailand is getting strict about the type B visas, particulary in the Embassies in nearby countries, Singapore and Malaysia. Fellow worker got his type B in Jan 01 in Singapore, good for six months with 2 entries. I got mine in Feb 01 in KL, good for one year, unlimited entries. I had to get a bunch of papers about the Thailand company, tax, etc. Once I had correct paper, was not a problem, one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 18, 2001 Report Share Posted May 18, 2001 To Samuigeorge: Check Thai visa regulations on www.thai-la.net/visa.htm, as of March 1st 2001. There's no mention of 90 day visas at the airport, only 30 day (59 nationalities) and 15 day visas (97 nationalities). The 30 day visas are usually extended for 7 days and then, if you have pressing reasons to stay longer, max. another 3 days. Maybe in some immigration offices they give the full 10 days right away.

Guest Posted May 18, 2001 Report Share Posted May 18, 2001 Sorry, in my above posting I've typed a comma after www, so that doesn't get you anywhere. Of course it should be www.thai-la.net/visa.htm. That's just my way of getting quickly past the 30 postings newbie threshold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brink15 Posted May 18, 2001 Report Share Posted May 18, 2001 SG, My sister-in-law's bf, Kenneth, is a Dane, and as of last month all he could get was a 30 day at the airport. As a result he got a 90 day non-immigrant before he came. Poor guy didn't get any re-entries and is staying on the Cambodian border. Solly, no can go kmen three months. No Angkor, no casino. You stay Aran. Oh, so hot now. He,he,he. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phiketpete Posted May 18, 2001 Report Share Posted May 18, 2001 Thaihome It may not be that they are getting stricter. As someone else posted Singapore never grant multiple entry visa. That was my experience with the Thai embassy in Singapore. While in KL a multiple entry visa was no problem. Rules vary according to the Embassy. It may well be that Thailand will tighten up it policies, but the experience of your co-workers is in my mind not proof of that. Lets hope that is the case anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 21, 2001 Report Share Posted May 21, 2001 I'd like to thank everyone that replyed. Even thou some say it is not possible I have read that one can get a double entry visa good for 60 days with the option to extend it for 30 more days if one gets it from the Thai counselor outside of Thailand not in Thailand. Also it is better to do this prior to entering Thailand on a 30 day tourist visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you enter Thailand you will have to go somewhere that has an embassy or consulate to do the same thing like Phnom Penh or Penang. It's easier to do it before you get to Thailand and then you are good for six months with one trip to the border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
