Will my travel plan of staying 60 days in Thailand, extending for 30 days, visiting Vietnam for a week, and returning to Thailand for another 60 days work?

Click my name and see the post I made last night when we arrived. We are only trying to stay 90 days. It will probably work, if you don’t mind a lecture.

This year for Laos they have hardened their position, Thai immigration requires spending at least 2 days in Laos, 20,000 baht in cash, the plane ticket back to the country of origin within 2 months, they also ask for the reasons for returning to Thailand with the place where we are going to stay

Try LTR Visa if you have some little money? Otherwise screw around

Thailand sucks, everything is up to the immigration officer who faces, and judges you at that time. Rules mean nothing. There is no fucking consistency or across the board system laws in place. Just smile alot, act stupid and hand out with money. If they are not happy, offer more. Dress respectable and never get angry. Enjoy your stay !!! All true

Be prepared to stay in Vietnam longer. Beautiful country.

Once again this question, you are not abusing Thai immigration as stated below but always the discretion of the immigration officer on entry

I can’t believe the comments I see on this site and it’s mainly dumb Americans who think that they are entitled. Try taking your girlfriend to your country 🤣 Every country has their rules and now that the Tai government is starting to clamp down on you cheaters, it’s, like come on nobody is going to tell me what to do. Get a life or go home to Daddy.

So when you plan on doing extensions, you don’t have to book a flight back? How’s that work? I hear people say you have to show a return ticket.

No

Exactly what I did , no problems…. 👍

Solid package plan

Vietnam is excellent You won’t have time to do a train ride from N to S or vice versa but quite enjoyed Saigon & Hoi Ann (did flight). Was my 1st choice in residing countries prior Thailand.

Thailand will soon lose its attraction soon Vietnam Laos and Malaysia will be a better option VERY SOON there was a major problem a few days ago in relation to visa free entry

I did that exact thing in 2023 and had no problems. A lot changed since then though. Best of luck mate

I am doing the same. Just extended my first 60 day last week and off to Phu Quoc for a week at the the end of this month . My flight back to the UK after I come back from phu Quoc is already booked and paid for. I will then return to Thailand to retire in December

People doing this is the reason the 60 visa exempt visa is at risk of going back to 30 days abusing the system just get correct visa for your travel plans

It always depends on the Immigration Officer. There is no legal limit on the number of times that you can use the Visa Exempt Entry. However the Visa Exempt Entry is intended for tourists. Thai Immigration considers that 90 days is suitable for a vistor to stay in Thailand as a tourist. If you attempt to enter on a second Visa Exempt Entry, many Immigration officers consider that you are abusing the system and will take you aside for further questions. Depending on your answwers to these questions the officer will warn you that you will not be allowed to enter in future on the Visa Exempt or my deny you entry into Thailand. If you reseach these pages you will see that recently many have been denied entry for attempting to enter Thailand on their second Visa Exempt. If you want to stay in Thailand for more than 90 days, then to be safe, obtain a visa suited to the reason for your stay.

Sounds like a solid plan

Good luck
