Thai Visa Tourist Visa Non-Immigrant Visa Expats in Thailand Visa Regulations Immigration Advice

Jul 28, 2021

ORIGINAL POSTER

I plan to return to Thailand again October this year my OA non Imm visa as expired.

I will only be staying 60 days and then back to Uk and then back Thailand in January for approx 3 months.

My question is would a single entry 60 day tourist visa be acceptable for my October trip.

I have a lot of Thai stamps on my passport ( no overstays ) so know I need to get a visa in UK.

I just don’t want problems on entry with them saying I have come to many times to be a tourist.

I don’t work in Thailand I have retired.

Thanks for any help or advice.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is planning to return to Thailand in October for a 60-day stay after their OA non-Immigrant visa expired. They are considering whether a single-entry 60-day tourist visa is acceptable and express concern about the potential for immigration issues due to frequent entries. Comments suggest that obtaining a single-entry tourist visa in the UK would not be a problem, and prior experiences indicate that having multiple tourist visas in the passport does not typically raise concerns at immigration.

I came in Visa exempt (45 days) with many tourist visas in my passport and no questions at immigration. I plan to take the 30 day extension. This would be the easiest entry for you for 60 days.
