Hey Guys, I entered Thailand on the 15th of April.

My Visa is Valid till the 13th of May.

I left Thailand and went to Vietnam on the 29th of April though (before using up my visa)

I am a German Citizen.

Now my question : When can I reenter Thailand ?

I'm sorry if this question is repetitive for you guys, but I really appreciate the Help!

Thank You!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user, a German citizen, inquired about reentering Thailand after leaving the country on a 30-day visa exemption. Responses indicated that since the initial entry stamp became invalid upon exiting Thailand, the user can reenter Thailand at any time, essentially receiving another 30 days of visa exemption upon entry. Users also noted the limits on border crossings and the possibility of obtaining a 60-day tourist visa if a longer stay is desired.

No! You got a 30 day 'visa exempt' stamp. Not a visa for tourists.

You entered on a 30 day visa exempt (for tourists) by the sound of it. Yes you lose this when you exit. So you need to obtain a 60 day tourist visa from a Thai consulate (which can be extended another 30) if you think you want to stay longer than a month, or fly back in and get another 30 days exemption.

Thank You Guys. I'm an absolute Noob when it comes down to this . Awesome so I can essentially just fly back because the initial expire date lost its validity because of me leaving early. if I understood everything 😅

It is more easy to type Visa than Visa Exempt Entry stamp.

You only got 30 days to stay in Thailand, this looks to me as a Visa Exempt Entry stamp, not a Visa. As soon as you left Thailand the admitted to stay date became invalid. You can enter any day, if by border crossing be aware only 2 crossings a year are allowed with a Visa Exempt Entry, No limit using airplanes.
