Hi there,from SA, we arrive in May and get stamped in on a 60day visa exempt, after abt 59days,we want to go to Cambodia for abt 3 or 4 days, then come back, will we get stamped in for another 60days? Or has that changed? As I am busy booking our flights from SA&back,dont want to make a mistake.We come over every year,but only do 90days, but thought with the new rule,we can do the 60+60. Thx,would appreciate your help. Carmen

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user plans to arrive in Thailand on a 60-day visa exemption and is concerned about the possibility of getting another 60-day entry stamp after a trip to Cambodia. Community comments confirm that the user will receive a new 60-day stamp upon return to Thailand if they leave for a few days. Additionally, they suggest considering a 30-day extension at an immigration office instead of traveling to Cambodia unless they intend to stay longer.

You might as well stay a bit longer in Cambodia as it will cost $40 for a one month visa

Unless you WANT to go to Cambodia, why even waste the time bouncing out and back after a couple days?

I mean if all you need is another 30 days, just take the 30 day extension at the immigration office that serves the area where you stay for 1900baht

You are correct though, you will indeed get a new 60 day entry stamp when you come back in to the country. (y)

thought now we can do 120days, arrive and get 60, but then need another 60. So will have to go out, somewhere?? Thx

for 120 days (plan your departure flight carefully) you don't need an extension just the border bounce

the airline you will be departing SA with, can ask you for a proof of onward travel out of Thailand within the frist 60 days. Email them and ask how the handle it, if your return flight is outside of 90 days
