I'm entering Thailand on 7/01/24 and intend leaving on 05/05/24.
I have a return ticket.
I intend applying for a 60 day tourism visa which I can then renew twice for 30 days each, which takes me up to the 120 days I am there.
Can I leave Thailand for a neighbouring country during the 60 day period and re-enter and the remaining days are still valid.
Thanks
Edit: I have a UK passport if that's relevant.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user plans to apply for a 60-day tourism visa upon entering Thailand on January 7, 2024, and wants to know if they can leave for a neighboring country during this period and still retain the remaining days of their visa upon re-entry. Comments clarify that if they have a single-entry tourist visa, they can extend their stay by 30 days at an immigration office. However, to extend further or refresh their stay, they must execute a 'border bounce' and may need a re-entry permit to maintain their original entry stamp. It's important to note that the user can only apply for one extension on the 60-day visa.
