I have a 60 day tourist visa issued in the uk with approx 23 days left on it.

If I wanted to go to Cambodia now for one week do I just leave the country and then will I get a 30 day on my return or do I need a re entry visa .?

I am in Pattaya and will be flying to PP from Bangkok.

I will also be returning to the UK before my 60 day visa runs out.

TLDR : Answer Summary
If you leave Thailand to visit Cambodia, your 60-day tourist visa will no longer be valid upon your return. You will receive a 30-day Visa Exempt Entry if you arrive back in Thailand without a new visa. To preserve your current visa, you could obtain a Single Re-Entry Permit before leaving, which costs 1,000 THB and allows you to maintain your existing visa status.

Wait Wait, Your visa is used and nothing more than a memory, if you leave to Cambodia it is all gone. If you come back there is NO 60 day visa to run out anymore. If you do not buy a visa in Cambodia before you come back, you can get a 30 day Visa Exempt Entry and if that is not enough time you can apply for a 30 day Extension of Stay at your local Immigration Office.

OR apply for a Single Re-Entry permit, cost 1.000 Thb and on return from Cambodia you will get the same Admitted until date stamped in your passport as you have now

1. Your plan would work or.

2. You can get a reentry permit to keep your current stay alive. You can get it at your local immigration office

is there a fee for the re entry ?

Suppose there is no point of getting a re entry if I get 30 days on arrival from PP?
