Hi everyone, I’m in Thailand on a British passport, I have been across the boarder into Loa , re-entered Thailand and received a 60day stamp , I now wish to stay longer .. If I fly to Vietnam for a weeks stay and then return to Thailand by air will I receive another 60day stamp ?? Also can I just fly into Vietnam or do I have to have a Visa before arrival ?? TIA …. 😐

Hi, I obtained a DTV from the Thai embassy in London.

I printed a copy to travel with but we had a super rushed transit through BKK to our onward flight for Krabi and I completely forgot to show the paperwork, I mistakenly believed it would be on their system as soon as my passport was scanned.

Subsequently my very travel weary brain decided it would be a good idea to check my passport and my stamp was just the 60 day one.

Has anyone had a similar experience and could offer advice on the best course of action? Many thanks

I am currently in thailand on holiday with uk pass port. I came on 12th October

I just did a 4 day trip to vietnam by air, but I have just noticed that they did not stamp my passport on re entry back to thailand. Is this normal, I am booked to go home on the Dec 5th but was considering a longer stay.

Hi, looking for advice here. I have a 60 day tourist visa from the UK Thai Embassy, I landed 6th of September. My Airline have since sent me a text and email to tell me my return flight has been cancelled and changed it to 2 days later than the original which was a stay of 60 days but now I will be 2 days over the 60 day visa limit. I have kept the original return flight ticket and have the email and ticket confirming the cancellation and new dates of the return flight will that be sufficient on exit or will I still get an overstay fine. I know it is only 500 baht per day but this was the Airline who cancelled my return flight that was within the time limit. TIA

Hello, what happens when you do not receive your 60 day tourist visa in time before departure for Thailand?

(I understand that I am able to enter on visa exempt and renew for an additional 30 days. I was planning on a stay of 86 days.)

Hello everyone, I’d like to have some advice about the following:

My tourist visa will finish on 28th Sept. I am having a flight booked on 29th Sept at 2:30am to fly out to Europe. Is it OK if I pass by the immigration at the airport before midnight (on 28th Sept) and take the flight at 2:30am (29th) and I won’t get a fine for overstay for one day?

Thank you in advance. 🙏🏻

I have a non o immigrant visa which will need to be extended by 7th March 24.

I have multiple re-entry permit.

I would like to come here back in January.

Thank you for your assistance.

Hi, I have 2 questions for the moderators… first is, I’m from the uk and arrived in Phuket and got the visa exempt for 45 days.. I would like to extend and am now in bkk, where do I go for this extension?

And I will be flying out to Australia for a week and then heading back to Thailand, I do have a few stamps this year… is it better advised to go back in to Phuket rather than Bangkok as heard bkk is being a lot stricter with amount of Stamps in passport… and would I be better off to apply for tourist visa whilst in Sydney? Or voa when I land? Thanks 🙏🏼

Hi there,

I was a Long time in Thailand and did covidextensions. Then went 30days to Vietnam, back to Thailand for 40days and now again back in Vietnam. I want to go back again to Thailand if it’s possible. I am from Switzerland.

I can’t find any proper information on what rules apply for me. Am I allowed to go back to Thailand again or not? If not, is there a certain time I have to wait until I could go back? I wanna do it the right, legal way. I don’t wanna have a 7day stamp in my passport which says I can’t enter. Does anyone have reliable information in that case?
