Imm on 60 day visa, i plan going to Cambodia for a week before the 60 days run out. Will i have any issues coming back into BKK. Do i have to notify immigration before i fly out to Cambodia.
Answer summary
The user is concerned about re-entering Thailand after a trip to Cambodia while on a 60-day tourist visa. It is essential to obtain a re-entry permit before leaving Thailand to maintain the validity of the current visa stamp, as exiting without it may cancel the visa. The ability to re-enter Thailand will also depend on the immigration officer's discretion, taking into account the user's travel history and time spent in Thailand in the past 12 to 18 months. Recommendations include having accommodations booked and sufficient funds available upon return.

Depends on your travel history in the last 12 months

You will need to go to immigration and get a re entry permit. Once they stamp you out at immigration it cancels the visa without a re entry permit

If you're on an actual tourist rather than a visa exempt stamp and will return to Thailand before that 60 days runs out it may be possible to get a re-entry permit to keep your current stamp alive. Otherwise you can just leave and return. Whether you will be allowed to enter Thailand again will be at the discretion of the immigration officer you stand in front of, generally they look at your entry history over the past 12 to 18 months and if you've spent a lot of time inside Thailand in that period can deny entry. Make sure you have accommodation booked, a ticket out and 20k baht or equivalent in cash

So you are saying that a SETV for 60 days allows you to buy a re-entry permit to keep it alive?

If you are on a proper tourist visa you should get a re-entry permit.

When you have the METV it's not necessary.

If you are on visa exemption, you can leave and come back but won't get new 60 days.

Ralph Tyson Only get 30 days if he returns after the 15th of September if he enters on visa exempt

Ralph Tyson with a single entry visa? And I assumed his return would be after 14.09. so also no new 60 days for visa exemption
