Hey all, we are moving to Chiang Mai this fall. My husband is going to be teaching over there. He will be securing a job once we get there.

My question is, should we show up without visas and just use the 60-day entry stamp? Or would it be a safer bet to get the Multiple Entry and then switch over to his Non Immigrant Type B Visa/work permit?

TIA!

ATTENTION ALL MENBERS:

We interrupt this broadcast to bring you a breaking News bulletin..

The new 60 day entry stamp program that started 3 days ago is not limited to two entries by land in a calendar year, it is unlimited entry by land.

Just had somebody that did two free stamp land entries this year bounce out and back and get a new 60-day entry with no questions at al. The officer said unlimited.

EDIT:

Okay here's the stamp "trail" and it's a screwy one with an overstay at every step of the process :O

The person entered their FIRST ENTRY BY LAND on March 16th was stamped in 30 days until April 14th.

They went to the immigration office on the 17th of April paid a 3 day overstay (no stamp image) and got a 30 day extension good until 14 of May

They went to the border on May 17th paid a 3 day overstay (no stamp image) and got a 30 day stamp until Jun 15th (note the stamp has 2/67 meaning second land entry this year)

They went to the immigration office on the 18th of June paid a 3 day overstay AND got a 30 day extension good until 15th of July

They went to the border July 18 paid a 3 day overstay AND got a NEW THIRD LAND ENTRY STAMP for 60 days

Remember you heard it first from Tod Daniels.
