bilbo52 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I am wondering if I will encounter any problems if I exit Thailand a day or two before my retirement extension expires in August 2019 and then fly back to Thailand after my extension has expired hoping to enter on a visa exempt (30days) stamp. I have been using the O-A visa and retirement extensions for the last 5 years. My aim is to extend my stay beyond expiry of my retirement extension on 17 August for 30 days before I fly back to the UK. Hope I have sufficiently explained what I am after, just wondering if Thai Immigration will quiz me or somehow refuse me entry. I have never had an overstay or as far as I am aware any reason to be refused entry. Thanks in advance for useful responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJack54 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) Did you consider border crossing. You won't have trouble with border. When you say "fly back" I assume from Asian country?. If so just fly to somewhere like udon and bounce at border. 30 day visa exempt and extend if required. Another 30.

ubonjoe Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 No problem to get a 30 day visa exempt entry by air or land after being being on extension of stay. Previous longstay extensions or visas have no effect on doing a visa exempt entry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilbo52 Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 Thank you both Ubonjoe and DrJack54. I live in Hua hin, so was thinking of just jumping on an AirAsia flight to Kuala Lumpur and staying there for a couple of nights and then returning to get a 30 day visa exempt entry. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem to do it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
