Good morning

I intend visiting Thailand in January using Visa Exempt 60 day entry. I then intend visiting Laos also in January, when re-entering Thailand would I still have the days left of the original entry unused?

Or would an EVisa be a better option.

Thanks for any help.

TLDR : Answer Summary

A user plans to visit Thailand on a 60-day Visa Exempt entry in January, then travel to Laos, and is inquiring if they retain any unused days upon re-entering Thailand. Comments clarify that leaving Thailand nullifies any unused days from the original entry, meaning a new entry stamp is needed upon re-entry, thus starting with a fresh 60-day period.

If you enter Thailand on 60 days visa exemption and stay only few days and didn't make any extension then after going to Laos and reentering Thailand there will be no problem for you

How many days in Thailand before you go to Laos ?

How many days in Laos ?

When you re-enter Thailand make sure you have at least 20k Baht and proof, plane tickets out of Thailand

Nope you would not 🙁

No one ever has "days left" on a visa exempt entry stamp once they leave the country.

When you stamp out on a 60 day visa exempt entry stamp that's it.

If you re-enter the country again you'd get a completely new entry stamp

You should be okay coming back in on a new 60 day visa exempt entry stamp
