Do you have to redo a tourist visa here again if you leave out the country to visit somewhere else for 4 days ? Or does it remain within the same date you have to stay until ?

TLDR : Answer Summary

If you leave Thailand while holding a tourist visa, you may need a re-entry permit to maintain your visa status. This requirement varies based on the type of visa you hold - either a tourist visa or a visa exemption. It's important to check if your visa is single or multiple entry, as this will affect whether you're allowed to return without needing a new visa or permit.

Well that really depends on what tourist visa you purchased before entering Thailand. Did you buy a single or multiple entry tourist visa?

You can only get a re-entry permit on a 60 days tourist e-visa you applied for online before you went to Thailand.

If you’re on a 60 days visa exemption you’ll get a new one at the discretion of the immigration officer your standing in front of.

well, you should be fine if after 4 days abroad, you re-enter Thailand for a second time on a visa-exempt entry. If you have not maxxed out the first 60 days admitted stay with a 30 days extension, but exited Thailand before the first 60 days expired, you can expect to be regarded as being a "real" tourist at the border checkpoint. You could however be asked on your intentions, in which case you should make sure you have the "3 famous proofs", which are an onward travel proof out of Thailand within 60 days, 20,000 THB in cash or equivalent in another major currency, and proof of a booked accomodation for the first few nights

thanks for that !! The proof out of Thailand might be my only hiccup as I usually purchase my return flight after the fact. As I don’t know if I’m staying for the full 60 days or leaving sooner this go around . Also 20,000 THB in cash ?? Is that what they going to try to ask me for at immigration?

the proof of cash rarely gets asked, but it can get asked. . . it depends on your appearnce and the mood of the officer you are standing in front of

If you don’t have any recent excessive travel history on visa exemptions, you should be fine with a re-entry and still be considered as a genuine tourist to Thailand.

To keep your Visa status when you leave the country you need to purchase a re-entry permit. Do you really have a Tourist Visa that you paid for before you travel or did you enter for free on a Visa Exempt stamp?
