Visa advice required please

[larrymac90]

Hi,

In 2016 I plan to visit Thailand for 2 months (I will get a 60 day visa from the London Thai Embassy).

I will leave Thailand at the end of the 60 days and visit Vietnam for 5 days before returning to Thailand for another 30 days.

Is this within the rules?

 

Thanks

You should be okay. Remember that your day of arrival is day one of your authorized period of stay.

When you get stamped at arrival just have a quick look to make sure you are stamped in for 60 days. Earlier this year I arrived with the same visa and they only stamped me for 30 days.

 

Also when you collect your passport at the Embassy stand at the window about 5 minutes before collection as the queue goes out the door. ( window 2 I think)

Thanks very much guy's for the info.

I will send the passports by post to the London Embassy. Done it last year and they were returned in 5 days with 60 day visas intact.

Alternately, you could burn your passport and claim to be a Syrian refugee.

 

(Sorry, I'm just in that sort of mood).

Why not get one of the new multiple entry tourist visas?

I think the new multiple entry tourist visas are £100. For me and the wife it would be £200.

The 60 day visa is ~ £35 so its a bit of a saving.

Quite a bit.

It is unlikely but you may be asked to show you are leaving Thailand within the specified 60 days,

So if you have a flight booking for Vietnam have it handy.

Don't forget travel insurance.
