ORIGINAL POSTERHi everyone.
What should I do!
My 30 days visa extension runs out April 4th and I’m planning to go to Vietnam for a week or two.
I entered Thailand 60 days ago on a tourist visa, and I’m wondering what’s the best way I can apply for a new visa for Thailand whilst I spend time in Vietnam?
I fly out of Thailand back to my home country middle of may.
Thank you very much 😊

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user seeks advice on applying for a new visa for Thailand after their current 30-day visa extension expires, given their plan to visit Vietnam. A commenter suggests that depending on the user's citizenship, they might not require a new visa to re-enter Thailand after a couple of weeks in Vietnam, as they could potentially enter visa-exempt for 30 days.

What's your citizenship ?
Seems likely you can enter LOS again after a couple of weeks in Vietnam free, visa exempt for 30 days. Which, if need be, can be extended for 30 days more at your local immigration office for 1,900 baht.
In other words, you probably don't need a visa. Luck of the Irish, innit? 🍀
Cheers 🍺

I could only do backpacking in Thailand for 15 days instead of 2 months because we just get a 15 days of non-extendable visa on arrival, not a 1 month of visa exemption that can be extended for another month. I really wanted to stay more in Thailand but i had to leave and go back to india as i had no other choice.Phil ********

You're on a lad's wee holiday, yeah? ; you're a tourist; yeah, you can enter again, just not wearing elephant pants or a shirt which says "same same but different" & you'll be fine, mate.

Thanks for the quick reply! So I’m still good to enter Thailand again even tho I have a stamp already on my passport?
I didn’t use my 30 day exemption when I first entered I had a Thai tourist visa so I’m hoping that I can just use that 30 days now 😅☘️

Can I enter Thailand on a 60-day tourist visa, go to Vietnam, and return on a 30-day visa exemption?
