Can I use a 60 day visa and go to Vietnam and re-enter Thailand on the same 60 day visa
Answer summary
Yes, you can re-enter Thailand on a 60-day visa after visiting Vietnam, but you must obtain a re-entry permit before leaving Thailand. However, it's important to note that the re-entry permit does not extend your stay; you will re-enter with the same expiry date of your original visa. Additionally, starting September 15, the rules may change, and the 60-day visa may not be available anymore, transitioning instead to 30-day visa allowances.

Simon Sam you are OFF TOPIC. . . . . The OP has a single entry tourist visa and is asking if a re-entry permit will keep the 60-days stay permit alive and active when he exits Thailand and comes back for a re-entry.

Kevin, do you have a 60 day tourist visa that you received using the e-visa online system or did you get stamped in at the airport with a 60 day visa exempt entry?

Only if you have multiple entries approved

And on September 15, it’s turning to a 30 day Visa

No more 60 day

Nigel Middleton You are totally off topic . . . . You cannot get a tourist visa on Immigration, and by the way, there is nothing such as a 30-days visa

Yuie Srihamat you can only do two land border entries per year using visa exempt, this does not apply to arrivals by air

Graham Seal never done my self but i ask immigration officer today for my friend ( face to face) so i just give comment here.
Gregor **********

Yuie Srihamat It is not only the amount of entries over land borders that is limited. You can't spend more than 150 days on visa-exemptions within a 12-18 months period, regardless how you entered

Nope

a re-entry permit, however, does not buy you any extra days. When you re-enter Thailand, you will be stamped in for the same stay-permit expiry date that you received on your first entry

Re-entry permit as John said or apply for a METV.

Only if you get a re-entry permit before you leave Thailand
