Can I travel to Vietnam and return to Thailand on a 60-day visa exemption without losing my entry?

ORIGINAL POSTER

Sorry, if this has been asked 100 times, I even tried the embassy, but I get an error message. With 60 day visa exempt, can I go and come back once within the 60 days? This would NOT be a 'visa run', obvioudly, but just a flight to Vietnam for 2 days, in order not to lose my 'Flying Blue' frequent flyer miles by taking a short flight on a partner airline, and crediting the miles to 'Flying Blue'. Just one clear answer is all I need, thanks in advance.

TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, you can travel to Vietnam and return to Thailand within the 60-day visa exemption period. When you exit Thailand, you will use the visa exemption stamp you received upon your initial entry. When you return, if granted entry, you will receive a new 60-day visa exemption stamp. This is not considered a 'visa run' in the traditional sense, as you are simply making a short trip to maintain your frequent flyer miles.

No a 60 day visa exemption stamp is what you get every single time you enter Thailand

If you go to Vietnam you will stamp out and have exhausted the stamp you came in on

When you return you will get another 60 day visa exemption stamp…if the I/O grants access

It’s not multi entry

It’s not a visa

It’s a visa exemption stamp

Whether you stay 2 hours or 60 days you get the visa exemption stamp

Every single time

Unless you buy a multi entry or single entry visa

Good luck
