- yes, so you wrote incorrect

@Andy ***********

- completely agree

@Paul ******

never realized that, since I have not been in country for more than 90 days since and back then HR took me in for reporting. Why do people complain then? Super minor thing to mail in

@Paul ******

I didn’t realize they were setting up a second consulate in Siem Reap. Consulates have two overarching functions, 1. Visas for individuals wanting to come to Thailand (since it is evisa now, not sure what time value of a consulate in Siem Reap would have for visas) and 2. to support Thai nationals outside of Thailand. Maybe there is a large Thai population in the Siem Reap area?

It is very straight forward. You have a 5 year, multi-entry visa. Every time you enter the country you will receive a 180 day entry stamp. If you stay that long and want to stay longer, you can extend it for an additional 180 days at the Immigration Office. At that point you must leave the country and you can renter if you want. However, every time you exit the country and re-enter, you receive a new/fresh 180 day stamp, regardless if prior you were in country 5 days or 175 days. (In addition, when in country for 90+ days consecutively you need to do a report/check in with Immigration.

@Andy ***********

the first time?

@Benjamin ********

yes, I would not be upset if the website says 5 days, and others on Facebook got it in 3 days. I would plan accordingly, knowing that there is variability.

The first 90 days on each entry stamp is in person, so if you exit and re-enter, the clock starts at zero and first 90 is in person.

- it says they (Thai consulate in Netherlands) has the authority to issue visas for people who are within their borders. By saying “they have the authority” implies the authority has been given to them by MOFA. Do you think the MOFA gives different types of requirements to different embassies? Have you seen any notice that actually says you can travel?

Here it says it will be rejected if in Thailand “during the visa process”
