I am going to Thailand in December for 3 weeks. While i am there i will be going to Cambodia for 3 days. What happens with the thai exit visa. Do i have to put leaving Thailand to go to Cambodia and then re do another entrance visa going back into Thailand
Answer summary
If you are a UK citizen traveling to Thailand for three weeks, including a three-day trip to Cambodia, you do not need a visa for Thailand. You will receive a 30-day visa exemption stamp upon arrival. When filling out the arrival/departure card on your flight to Thailand, indicate your departure date to Cambodia. Upon returning to Thailand, fill out another arrival card but do not worry about a visa; the visa exemption will apply again. Just ensure you have proof of onward travel and sufficient funds. Enjoy your trip!

Right, it sounds like you're confusing the arrival card with a visa. If you're from the UK and you're coming to Thailand for a holiday for 3 weeks, you do not need a visa. You are visa exempt. You will in that card on the plane but it's basically just a bit of procedural form-filling. The immigration officer will rip the card in half, keep the arrival card bit and staple the departure card bit to your passport (doesn't matter if you have filled the departure card or not). When leaving, you fill in the departure card with your flight number and the immigration officer will remove it from your passport and keep it. If you then pass back through Thailand on holiday for less than 30 days after Cambodia you also do not need a visa, just repeat the above. It's as easy as tying your shoelaces!

hi Gill . Fill in the form on plane to Thai and put date you will leave to go to Cambodia . When you return to Thailand fill in another form and put when you will leave to go back to UK.

There is no visa required just passport stamp in and out as UK is visa exempt for 30 days .

Don't lose the form and all will be well .

Have a good trip .

Gill - where are you from? It may effect things. But from the sounds of things - you get here. Enjoy yourself. Go to Cambodia, enjoy yourself. Go back to Thailand - enjoy yourself. Then go home. Not too much more complicated than that.

I would concern more if you have passport from somewhere not-known-for-tourist or if you have a history of being in Thailand.

The paper in your passport that you fill in on the plan is an arrival/departure card not a visa.

You will get a 30 day visa exempt stamp on each of your 2 arrivals. And as you won’t be in Thailand for more than 30 days on each trip that’s all you need.

You can be asked on arrival for proof of address, onward travel and funds equal to 20,000 Thai baht.

We complete the visa form on the plane. We input the date we are due to leave to come back to uk. When we leave Bangkok they take the exit visa out of the passport. We will be in Thailand for 5 days before going to Cambodia for 3 days then back to Thailand for 2 weeks. Would we put the date we are leaving to go to Cambodia and when we are flying back to Thailand. Fill out another form on the plane

Okay, what do you mean with Thai exit visa and re do another entrance visa? Do you apply for a Visa before you make your way into Thailand or do you plan to arrive without visa?
