A simple question: in summer 26 I plan to fly to bkk but not stay, only to fly onwards to Malaysia for a month, then back to Thailand and to ENTER for a month. So basically buy a return ticket London-bkk but transit on arrival. Do I have to go through Thai immigration on arrival, or stay in airport to catch flight to KL?

Hi guys,

This question might have been asked before but please allow me to ask.

Has anyone ever experienced applying for a “transit visa” after getting your “tourist visa”?

I’ve got my tourist visa in Phnom Penh but I have a change of plan(due to work). And I need to apply for a transit visa.

Do I need to cancel my tourist visa or I can just apply for another visa without any issue?

I’ve tried asking the embassy but haven’t got the reply yet. If anyone has ever experienced it, can you please kindly share it?

TIA

Edited because my post might not be clear.

I think I was not clear enough for my situation. Please allow me to explain.

I’m a sailor. My previous plan was to come to Thailand with tourist visa for vacation.

But now plans have changed because I now have to come to Thailand to join a ship and do some documents for only like 20 days. Then, I’ll leave Thailand with a ship because that’s where I’ll be working.

As a sailor, I’m required to come to Thailand with a transit visa if I’m joining a vessel. Also, I’ll be renewing my passport in my country’s embassy while I’m in Thailand for about 20 days. For renewing, I’ve enquired my embassy and they told me specifically that I’ll have to come with a transit visa. That’s why I can only come to Thailand with a transit visa not with a tourist visa.

Question.

I have a retirement visa. I have ticket purchased to fly BKK to India on 12 January.

Now I have an invite to Philippines but in order to get my BKK to India flight I would have tonovernight in Bangkok.

What do I do in terms of Re-entry permits.

First one is to entry through Bangkok.

Then another before fly to India next day?

Or can I stay over one night in Bangkok on a transit visa and have my re-entry permit for when I re-enter from India rather than Philippines. TIA for advice

Has anyone flown China Eastern Airlines from BKK to MEL via CAN (Guangzhou) with a 1 hour 50 minute transit in China, baggage checked through to Melbourne?

Both flights use the same terminal so my question is:

Will I need a visa for China?
