ujjain Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 If I visit Thailand regularly, how are they going to count visa days? 3x a 2 month visa = 6 months or.... 3x 1,5 month in the country = 4,5 months - ergo, can stay another 1,5 month with a tourist visa So do they count the days you are actually in the country or the visa days? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elviajero Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Any count would only be the number of days actual spent in the country. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thainesss Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 You really need to put a little more effort in your posts so that they are more easily understandable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko45k Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) Each time you enter on a valid 2 month (Tourist) Visa, you are given a Permission to stay for 60 days. That can be extended for 30 days at a domestic immigration office. If you leave during that 60 days, that Permission is gone, unless you get a Re-Entry permit. That permit will be valid until the same date the permission to stay it applies to. If you are out of Thailand say 5 days, you return on the Re-Entry Permit and are stamped in until the date of that Permit. IE You do not get a 'refund' on the days out. If you return on a tourist visa (you have a multiple or obtained a new one while outside Thailand) and no valid Re-Entry Permit, you are given a new Permission to stay for 60 days. Clear as mud!

jackdd Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I guess OP thinks there is a 180 day limit for staying in Thailand Such a limit does not exist, if an IO should mention this he just made it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritTim Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Since there are no official rules that restrict either the number of entries or number of days you can spend on tourist visas, there is no clearcut answer to your question. I believe the number of days in country is probably a more important criterion, but some officials might also be influenced by the number of times you visit. Currently, much more important than either is where you are trying to enter Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve187 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 a multi entry tourist visa give you unlimited 60 day entry stamps up to the expiry date of the actual visa , therefore if you enter on the day before the expiry date, you can get a fresh 60 day stamp and extend by 30 days, so in fact the visa is good for a period of 9 months almost, but if you try and use it as a way to stay full time in Thailand, you may run into trouble entering at border/airport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I confused myself. I can just keep going on visa runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
