TLDR : Answer Summary

The post discusses the possibility of obtaining a tourist visa at the Thai Consulate in Penang after previously doing a visa stamp at Ranong. Users clarify that there is no 30-day tourist visa; instead, you can get a 30-day visa-exempt entry by exiting and re-entering Thailand. To get a proper tourist visa at the consulate, you'll need to provide proof of funds, onward travel, and lodging. It's confirmed that the consulate is closed on weekends, which could affect the timing of your application.

Normally, when you get your passport and visa back from the consulate, is around 2:30 pm. This is a little late to try and get through Pedang Baser on the train. Also, bear in mind that the buses from PB to Hat Yai stop at 7 pm and there are only dreadful short-time hotels. Not a place to stay as a tourist. Best to stay one more night in Penang and set off after breakfast.

I've found coming back via the train is one of the easiest border crossings ive done entering thailand.

The TM30 is something INSIDE the country, NO consulate requires it because you file a NEW one when you come back into the country

You need to have proof of lodging, so have the thai you live with write a letter stating you live with them, and have a copy of the house book and or their thai i/d

I don't care in the least when your entry stamp expires Isbella :O

You're a grown up, you can decide when to go ;) :P

Turn in your passport one morning and pick it up the next afternoon, meaning you need to stay there at least overnight. I'd say plan on going the 2nd or 3rd of Dec to apply so that you're not caught out on the holidays.

Penang closures:

Thursday 5th December

Tuesday 10th December

Wednesday 25th December

Tuesday 31st December

Wednesday 1st January

You can get TV 2 times per year in Penang. They want see proof of found in your bank (5000€ in my case) On your way back, you should have 20k baht cash(!) to show at immigration on border for sure!

At the thai consulate in Penang to get a tourist visa you need to show proof of funds (20K baht or the equivalent in a bank account) proof of onward travel (in 60-90 days) and proof of lodging for 5 - 7 days.

There is no such thing as a 30 day tourist visa :/

You got a 30 day visa exempt entry bouncing out and back at Ranong to Burma.

You can get TWO 30 day visa exempt entries by land in a calendar year (Jan 1 - Dec 31)

IF you want to get a REAL tourist visa you go to the thai consulate in Penang and BUY a single entry tourist visa.
