gobbledonk Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Heard a Thai woman at the Consulate in Brissie read a guy the riot act re the spouse visa : apparently you guys only get 90 days, and we tourists only get 60. I'm sure they gave me a 90 day visa in Laos in May 2008 - perhaps I was just ahead of this decree: http://www.thaiconsulate.org.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=90&Itemid=109 Gobble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Hi, I think tourist visas have always been 60 days, which you can then extend for another 30 days. Maybe that is why you thought it was 90 days? Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 As I recall, Kiwis could get a longer visa - nobody else. Guess they figured there weren't enough Kiwis to matter anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALHOLK Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I have heard of embassies where some could get a 90 day non immigrant without being married or have a job lined up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before we entered the EU we Swedes got 90 days on entry and so did many other European countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardinalblue Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 There seems to be a lot of confusion in this post where guys are talking about different types of visas instead of what the original poster asked... He mentioned the spousal visa which is in fact 90 days.. The tourist visa to my knowledge has always been 60 days with 30 day extension regardless of location.. As to other countries getting 90 days, the example raised about getting 90 days on entry b/c of nationality is NOT a tourist visa. Entry visas at airports are exemptions to visas (most of us get 30 days) but they are not tourist visas.. As to the poster who said they got 90 days on a tourist visa in a regional country..Don't know if they made a mistake or what but hard for me to see that they would say if this nationality, they should get x days but a different one get y days..I can see it in their own home country but not as complex rules when in a regional country (laos, cambodia, etc) trying to sort out nationalities. Way too confusing for Thais to do in foreign lands and be shocked if that was/is the case...strictly speaking tourist visas not exemption to visa entry rules...
