Can I leave Thailand to Singapore and return the same day on a 60-day multiple entry tourist visa?

Hey everyone, I stay in BKK on a 60-days multiple entry tourist Visa. My idea for the next 60-days stamp is leaving to Singapore from DMK-Airport and went back here the same day. Technically it's the next day, cause I arrive at 23:45, and until I'm in front of the immigration Officer should be passed midnight already.

Anyone has experience about this? How they Handle it at DMK?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is currently on a 60-day multiple entry tourist visa in Thailand and is inquiring about the process of traveling to Singapore and returning on the same day for the next stamp. Comments suggest that as long as the travel occurs before the visa's valid date, it should not pose a problem. Additionally, there’s an option to extend the stay for another 30 days at immigration if preferred.

You'd be fine if you went out the same day and came back on the same day even much earlier, there is no rule you have to be out overnight. If you did it at a land border you could spend as little as 5 minutes out of the country.

So back to the original question: should be OK if I went out of Thailand and back the same day midnight?

Yes if you plan to leave after your next 60 days better to bounce than extend. Do note as well though that you can just do a land border bounce at either Cambodia or Myanmar, you don't NEED to fly to Singapore. If you are doing a round-trip come straight back don't leave the airport sort of trip Kuala Lumpur or Yangon is usually the cheapest, quite a bit cheaper than Singapore. A lot of other options as well- Penang, Ho Chi Minh, Vientiane, Hanoi. Yangon you can get $70 return, most of these others are under $100. Singapore is usually more like $200.

Ok, so I can extend my 60 days visa just one with 30 days before I have to bounce out of Thailand for get a 60 days stamp again and 30 days then and so on.

So no choice for me, because I have to get 60 days (after the 60 days I go back to Germany for 2 weeks).

Thanks guys.

You have a multiple entry visa. You can enter for 60, extend for 30, then leave and come back for 60 and extend that for 30 again. If you re-enter before the 'use by date', you can get more time from your visa.

You can extend only once per entry stamp, but it's the entry stamp, not the visa. You can extend each entry stamp you get on it once, it's not limited to once per visa. So you can do 90 days per stamp, rather than 60.

As long as the travel day is before the Valid Until date on your Visa it will be no problem.
