Does a 2-month Tourist Visa for Thailand include re-entry options?

Joe *********

Unless you have a multiple-entry visa, then it is only good for one entry unless you buy a re-entry permit before leaving. Re-entry permits are 1000 baht for a single re-entry. It does not extend your visa, just keeps it "alive" while you are out of the kingdom.

Can I get a re-entry permit at DMK airport for my tourist visa, and what are my options if I miss it?

Joe *********

You can't get a tourist visa at the airport. You can only get a 15 day visa on arrival IF you are from a country that qualifies for VOA. You can only get a tourist visa from a Thai embassy.

How many times can a US citizen extend a tourist visa in Thailand?

Joe *********

Richard Richardson Sanguila Like James Miller said, you can get a couple visas or entries back to back but eventually you will be denied admission and it's not pretty. You need to find a more appropriate method if you intend to stay in Thailand long term.

How many times can a US citizen extend a tourist visa in Thailand?

Joe *********

Only one extension per entry. After your extension is up you must exit the kingdom.

Do I need to show onward travel proof for a 30-day visa exemption in Thailand?

Joe *********

They CAN ask you. They generally DON'T ask the "casual tourist" but will ask people with a history of back-to-back entries. That said, for even "casual tourists", just because they "usually don't ask" doesn't mean they can't.

What can I expect when applying for an Ed visa at the Vientiane embassy, and do they require proof of funds?

Joe *********

Take the "3 proofs" if you have a longish history of entries on any visa or visa-exempt entries.

How much time do I have to leave Thailand after my visa expires to avoid daily fees?

Joe *********

You must leave before 11:59PM on the day your entry expires. The officer may waive the first day's fee (at the discretion of the officer) but you will still be marked as overstay. You will definitely start paying fees on the 2nd day.

What is the best visa option for staying 6 months in Thailand and 6 months in my home country?

Joe *********

@Christopher **********

That is correct... But you can't enter and just stay in Thailand for 6 months as the OP stated he was doing ("Living in Thailand for 6-months straight"). Stating that the maximum stay of each entry is only 60 days (extendable to 90) is not inaccurate.

What is the best visa option for staying 6 months in Thailand and 6 months in my home country?

Joe *********

The longest time you can stay on any tourist visa is 90 days. 60 days entry on the TV, then 30 days extension of stay, then you have to leave the country and re-enter. Even though a 6-months METV is "six months validity," it's still only good for 60 days stay (extendable by another 30 days) each entry.

Is it a problem if my TM6 departure card is not stamped by immigration in Thailand?

Joe *********

@Lucia *****

If it's just the departure card, I wouldn't worry about it. If they got the stamp in your passport wrong, that is another story.
