pomchop Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I've been out of thailand for several years now but used to go to mae sai fairly regularly. Can someone update me on current status....I plan to arrive BKK with no visa, just get the 30 day exemption. If i cross to mae sai before the end of 30 days and then re enter on same day do I get an extra 30 days? I would only do it once and have not done it in couple of years.

Randell Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I haven't done it myself in a while but have read that you only get 15 days not 30 anymore. But I am sure someone with 100% knowledge will answer soon. Welcome back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of , you will get a 30 day visa exempt stamp, which can be extended at immigration for another 30 days for 1900 Baht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pomchop Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 Txs all. I only need 60 days total so I will get 30 on initial arrival at BKK airport then cross to Mae Sai and get 30 more when i re enter Thailand. I prefer to do the Mae Sai crossing rather than the 1900 baht visit to immigration as it is just more fun/convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to be safe, you can get a single entry tourist visa by mail while in your country. That provides a 60 day stay. And it costs less that the 1900B extension. Also saves you the hassle of changing flight tickets and departing to Myanmar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
