Hello everyone,
Long time ago I got 90 days to stay in Thailand, is this still the same as a visa run by air?

thanks

You'll get 30 days when arriving without a visa. It doesn't matter how you arrive.

meant if I still get these 90 days when I fly back to thailand?

thanks

If you have a 90 days Non-immigrant visa,then the answer is yes. But if so, then I don't understand why you ask? You seem a bit confused.

Oh ok, sorry if you missunderstood.

I have an 60 days TR visa. Once this days are over I want to go to Vietnam and get the 90 days visa. I did this long time ago, just wanted to ask if I still can get this 90 days.

thank you

I didn't misunderstand anything. Your initial post didn't make any sense. You must apply for a 90 days Non-immigrant O visa based on for example retirement at an embassy or consulate if you meet the requirements. You have to check out these requirements at the Thai embassy website in Vietnam. You can also return on a 30 days visa exempt and extend the stay another 30 days at the local immigration office. If you want to stay even longer, you have to do a border run to get another 30 days.

Thank you very much.

I got 6 months to stay in Thailand and looking for the best way about visa. I am not ritired as it is just a time out of working.

On the E-visa I get only 60 days TR visa. This I could extend to antother 30 days but then I need to go out from TH, so I tought I would go to Vietnam and get another 90 days as I did long time ago. But if I get only 60 days from Vietnam so I need to get out once again.

thank you

You'll only get 30 days on arrival without a visa.

thanks,

ok, so the best way is to get another visa in Vietnam at the thai embassy, so I have at least 60 days.

thank you.

That's correct.

ok,  thanks.

About the visa in Vietnam, you think I will run into trouble when my flight back from BKK to Europe exceeds this 60 days I get in Vietnam? My flight back to Europe exceeds this 60 days over 25 days, this is why I need to do the second extension in TH then.

The initial visa will be a multiply-entry visa.

sorry all my doubts, but I heared so many terrible stories about this visa runs to Vietnam. People had to book another flight back to Europe because the original flight has exceeded this 60 days.

would another visa run to Malaysia for examle be the better choice? dont think so...

thanks

You have to check out the requirements for the 60 days tourist visa at the Thai embassy website, especially for the multiple-entry visa,and if it even exist. Normally you just need to show evidence of a paid return or forwarding ticket out of Thailand when applying for the visa. You are allowed to extend your stay another 30 days at the local immigration office, so you should be covered.

yes, I think too.

Ok thank you very much for the helpful suggestions.

bye

You also better check if Vietnam is still issuing visas on arrival.

The last time I checked you could no longer simply fly there and stay for 90 days.

You needed to go to an embassy first, like you do with Thailand.

When was last time you checked visa exemption for Vietnam? It's only 15 days for several European countries in the visa exemption list. Only passport holders from Panama and Chile gets 90 days because of bilateral agreements. Vietnam authorities are discussing changes regarding visas and visa exemptions,(as we speak).  By the way, this guy was asking about 90 days in Thailand on arrival,not in Vietnam.

yes, I think too.

The still best place (at least I haven't heard anything lately saying otherwise) to go to when it comes to visa runs from Thailand is Laos, at the Thai consulate by the river. NOT the Thai Embassy downtown. You can even use a travel agency up in northeast Thailand and they take care of everything. Google 'visa run Laos' and scroll down past the sponsored ads. There are several websites explaining the procedure.

thank you.

just to understand it right, if I do the visa run to Laos I get 60 days? I tought all visa runs over land border by bus obtain only 30 days?

thank you.

Who said anything about a visa run by bus? You're confusing a visa run with a border run. It's not same thing. A border run is crossing the border by foot (never by bus) and then return on a 30 days visa exempt. Get back on the bus and head back home. A visa run is crossing the border, then applying for a visa at a consulate or embassy, then return back to Thailand. Some are applying for a 90 days Non-immigrant visa if they meet the requirements. Some are applying for a 60 days tourist visa.

@Leeds forever! Doesn't a 6 month multiple entry visa work just as well for the OP? () If you get the visa shortly before you enter Thailand for the first time, then you do a border run 60 days after your first entry date to give yourself a further 60 days, and then you repeat the process 60 days later, giving you overall virtually 6 months in Thailand.

I said he has to check out if the multiple-entry 60 days tourist visa is available in Vietnam and if so,he meet the requirements. The requirements are not same in every country. In some countries in Europe you can't apply for it without a reference from an employer or you have to be self-employed.

I am from Austria. I think I meet all requirements.

My plan right now is:

multiple-entry over E-visa, so I get 60 days. then I extend to other 30 days. After that I was thinking to fly to Vietnam, get another 60 days and extend this again, so I have this 6 months.

what do you think about that?

Before you have checked out the requirements for the multiple entry 60 days tourist visa, you dont know if you meet the requirements or if this tourist visa even exist in Vietnam for a foreigner.

Hi,

looks like that I am allowed to get it for 60 days.

The visa run to Laos sounds also good. you mean the consulate at Vientiane?

thank you

Yes,the consulate, not the Thai embassy. You did notice what it says under 2.5 under requirements?

ok thanks, I will consider this visa run as well.

yes noticed, I stay in a condo for this 6 months, so I bring all documents the owner has.

thanks

You actually don't need to do any visa runs, just border runs. You get 60 days in Vietnam, then you're extending the stay another 30 days at the local immigration office in Thailand. Then a border run to a country closest to where you're staying. Then another extension at immigration + another border run. That's 60+30+30+30+30 =180 days.

thanks, yes this is also good idea as I will stay close to Hua Hin, Myanmar will be the best option then.

@Retiree

Hi, this is a very nice option as I will stay in Hua Hin all the time anyway, so the border to Myanmar is just around the corner. But I still haven't found any information (official from a thai embassy) if I get the 60 days with the multiply-entry, or if I get only the 30 days.

thank you

@Simon_PT

What do you mean by you haven't found any official information about the 6O days multiple entry visa? You just have to check out which visas are available at the thai embassy in the country where you are, you said Vietnam, by the way. You don't know how to use Google? It's a bit difficult to help people like you. You seem totally clueless. I have told you exactly what to do, but you still don't  get it.

I am talking about this:

"@Leeds forever! Doesn't a 6 month multiple entry visa work just as well for the OP? ( … th-of-stay) If you get the visa shortly before you enter Thailand for the first time, then you do a border run 60 days after your first entry date to give yourself a further 60 days, and then you repeat the process 60 days later, giving you overall virtually 6 months in Thailand."

means I do only a border run and do not go to any embassy or immigration to make a new visa and just get the 60 days according to the multiple entry visa.

I start in europe with a multiple visa, and just reactivated it by a simple quick border run without making a new visa and so I get 60 days by each boarder run and thats it. As I am close to Hua Hin I drive there by  my own and I am back afternoon.

You started the thread about going from Vietnam to Thailand. Now you're suddenly talking about a multiple entry 60 days tourist visa from Europe. ****

Ok, thanks
