Hi everyone,
Please can I have some advice. My boyfriend and I are travelling to Thailand in November, we were planning to stay 3-6 months. We are from the UK.
After looking into it, we are trying to decide which is best to do
1. Enter Thailand with the visa exempt for 45 days then get a 30 day extension. Leave Thailand and spend a few nights in Cambodia then go back to Thailand and be visa exempt again for another 45 days then get another extension
Or
2. Apply for a tourist visa which allows us 60 days, then extend for 30 days. After this, travel to Cambodia for a few nights, then are we allowed back in Thailand on the visa exempt?
Sorry if that sounds messy, just wondering what to do😊
Thanks in advance.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A UK couple is seeking advice on the best visa strategy for a 3-6 month stay in Thailand, considering either using visa exemption and extensions or applying directly for a tourist visa. Community members suggest that obtaining a tourist visa may be advantageous as it provides extra days, while also noting that repeated visa exemptions could lead to scrutiny at the border.
