Can I get a 60-day visa exemption, extend for 30 days, and re-enter Thailand after a trip to Hong Kong?

It’s ok at the minute but Thailand are forever changing the goal post next year it could be back to 30 days exempt or even the other way round 90 who knows it’s Thailand…

Hopefully 60days still next year it can change anytime

You could book a ticket with Thai Airways to Hong Kong with a stopover in Thailand

A couple of friends of mine were asked why they not have a visa for visit because they see that the make the trip from UK to Thailand maybe 3 times a year and they are retirement age, so yes immigration are getting a bit tighter in regards to multi entry in a year, also have a friend who did the 6 month visa before he came, even with that you have to leave and come back every 60 days, but he's been out twice and come back no issues or questions, so that maybe your safe option and I agree that you should probably book a flight out of Thailand before you come, like you have said it's part of your travel plans

You're already in trouble and you haven't even left for there yet.

book an onward travel ticket as your airline might not let you board as you have no Visa

If you get the 60 day visa exempt stamp and extend by a further 30 days at the Immigration office, Immigration class you as a tourist. If you then attempt to enter again on a visa exempt stamp, Immigration rightly consider that after on 90 day stay in the country that you are no longer a tourist but that you are attempting to live long term in the country. While there is no legal limit to the number of Visa exempt entries, once the Immigration officer believes that you are no longer visiting the country as a tourist he will deny you entry. If you have already stayed for 90 days on a visa exempt entry, then in future to guarantee entry into Thailand, you need to obtain a long term visa suitable to the reason for your stay.

As uk passport holders you will get a 60 day visa exempt stamp (not a visa on arrival) and yes you will be able to extend for 30 days at a local immigration office when in thailand, you can exit and when re entering at the discretion of the thai immigration officer stamp you in for another 60 days + 30 extension. Typically when flying out of the uk the airline will more than likely as for your return flight or an onward flight within the first 60days, it is also possible thai immigration will ask when you enter thailand. You could if you know you dates for leaving and re entering apply for 6 month multi entry visa in the uk which will allow you to come and go within the 6 month period

Yep. I flew into Thailand last month, went phillipines after 5 days, then Shanghai with a transit visa exemption for 10, back to Thailand for 5 weeks no probs. Don't worry. It's just the people who try to abuse the exemptions to live here, they are after.

I recommend booking your onward bound tickets from Thailand. Immigration is starting to get strict. I was asked for it last Sunday. First time in years.

Check the thai immigration website. I think you are eligible for the 60day visa on arrival.
