let's get some terminology out of the way so you two know what you're talking about.

There is NO such thing as a 30 day visa on arrival :O A visa on arrival is for 15 days, it can't be extended for 30 days and it is available to people from 18 countries only.

IF you didn't buy a visa from a thai consulate before you came here and were stamped in for 30 days for free you got in on a 30 day visa exempt entry.

Be that as it may. No one is gonna be able to tell you IF you're going to get pulled aside stamping in on a new 30 day visa exempt entry when flying in. It's down to the mood of the immigration officer you're standing in front of when you stamp in.

All you can do is be prepared with the 3-proof-ofz

proof of 20K baht or the equivalent in CASH

proof of onward travel (within 30 - 60 days)

proof of a hotel booking or confirmed lodging.

Hi everyone. I was only accepted into the group this morning, so in this post Marcé is talking about me. I want to know, if i leave Thailabd this week and go to Vietnam for a month and then come back for my holiday, will i then be fine with a visa on arrival ?

But flying in is the greater risk of denied entry at airport by Thai Immigration. And carefully select border land crossings. Up to You as my Thai friends often say. Good luck.

2 exempt entries overland per calendar year for SA citizens. In theory, arrivals by air are unlimited, but if officers suspect that she's living here, she may get refused. Try to avoid this by carrying a ticket back home, 20,000 baht in cash and proof of accommodation in Thailand.

Its all up to the Thai Immigration Officer.

What is the nationality/passport of your girlfriend? Is she South African?
