Guest Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Isn't it cheaper and about as easy to get thee to the tourist office in Patong or Pattaya or where ever and get and extension????? Can't you get up to 3 30 days in total...I see all those people in the little Sin Bin office passing along another contibution to the local immi officers....My next exit will be on an Non Immi O with the little depart stamp so I done with all those trivialities on life.

Neo Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 A true tourist visa for most countries is 60 days and can be extended for 30 more days for 1900 baht plus photos and passport photo copies. Some would rather just pay for a few extra days on the way out at 200 baht/day. The problem with this is you get "overstay" stamped in your passport and have to worry about getting caught on an expired visa which can be very serious. Best keep it legit if possible.

Guest Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Getting caught is the deal...One can toss the passport to get rid of the stamp etc but I find it much nicer to play by the rules. Look at it this way, would one pay 1900 baht to get out of immi-slammer. All would say yes. So don't overstay. Next arrival will be on a NonImi-0 so away I go.

Pharcyde Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Sidenote: Anyone of you know how much an extension of the 30 days visa on arrival is these days? Just because I am wondering if I need to get out of the country or if it isnt just easier to get another 7 days at the immigration in Bangkok. Cheers, Pharcyde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrenova Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 An extension for 10 days can be had by paying Bt1900 at the immigration office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 You can probably get a 60 day tourist visa before you come here. No can do in LOS though. I wish the Thais would learn from Malaysia. Malaysia gives you 3 months FREE on arrival. And if you want to extend for another 90 days, there's no need to leave the country.

Pharcyde Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Thanks for the info guys. I am on Samui and even though it would be easy for me to do a visarun to the border I was just debating myself whether it would be easier to just pay the 1900 in bkk than to spend a day and a half in the train.

That is how it is determined how many days you can stay. At least, being an American, I don't have to get a visa to travel to Thailand like they need to travel to the U.S. If I am wrong about this than I stand corrected.
