ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi I am an Irish citizan who entered Phuket on a 6 month multi trip evisa (expiring May). I got a 60 stamp on arrival expiring on 27th February. If I fly out of the country and back in do I get another 60 days with this visa or do I only get 30/45 days. I will not have done any visa extensions prior to this and it is thr only stamp in my passport. Thanks for any assistance!

TLDR : Answer Summary

As an Irish citizen holding a six-month multi-entry e-visa for Thailand, you are eligible for multiple 60-day stays as long as you re-enter before the visa's expiration in May. Upon leaving and returning to Thailand, you will receive an additional 60-day stamp. Note that each 60-day entry can also be extended once for an additional 30 days at the local immigration office.

You showed the eVisa PDF when you entered the country and were stamped in for 60 days right?

The visa is valid for 6 month from the date it was issued (look on your PDF which is your visa) and good for unlimited entries of 60 days each during that validity

Each of those 60 day entries can be extended one time for 30 days at the immigration office inside the country for 1900baht.

yea I got stamped for 60 days on arrival. Rather than going to immigration for 30 days I was wondering if it would be worthwhile just doing a visa run instead if I get another 60 days on reentry.

nope, that visa doesn't get the same scrutiny as people who are bouncing out and back the same day on a free entry stamp

thanks Lloyd. I think it makes more sense to do a visa run and get a 60 day reentry rather than going to immigration for just a 30 day extension. I would be re entering before expiry of my evisa. Thanks
