3 months+ stay - Ajarn Forum

process · 14th January 2008, 04:31

I'll be going to Thailand at the beginning of June & I want to stay until mid September - around Sept 10th-15th.

What are my options with regards to the visa needed.

Get a tourist visa from Hull = 60 days?
close to the end of those 60 days report to the border & get a 30 day stamp? then what for the +10/15 days?

What has happened to the 3 month rule? in the country for 3 months then must leave for 3 months? I only want to go 10-15 days over the 3 months but I would prefer not to pay 500baht overstay per day (I'm tight like that) + doing it legit seems wiser!

Can any 1 advise plz

Get yourself a double entry 60 tourist visa - easy

Yup, download the appropriate form from Hull, and mail it off with your passport.

That's unless you want to spend a few days in the Northeast. The best fish and chips in the world. Especially in Cleethorpes!

I believe the rule to be only three thirty day exemption stamps within a 180 day period.

As recommended, get the tourist visa, this will give you 60 day + a thirty day extension, and then one border run for 30 days.

Hello.

There is NO limit to the amount of visa exempt entries you can have. What is limited is the maximum of 90 days in 6 months. This is sometimes slightly more than 180 days.

I would advise you get the double entry tourist visa from the Hull Consulate. Either way, you will have to do a border run but with the double tourist you will save money on the 30 day extension from Immigration. ( for a single which would have to be followed by another border run anyway at the end of the 30 day extension )

There is NO guarantee you will get 30 days. Some tourists have only received 10 days. And you MAY have to show an outbound ticket. Go for the double..........less hassle.

I wouldn't call Hull the North East of England - and there's many a Geordie who would agree with me!

Can't vouch for the fish and chips in Cleethorpes, either ... Not bad in Nyucassel, mind, bonny lad.
