Awesome information. Thanks for your time to write all these.

I would like to know if all these infos are still up to date, because It seems it's been 1 and a half year since the first post on this thread.

And there is one more thing I would like to ask, (excuse me if I missed the answer to my question on the previous pages)

Let's say, my country is a visa-exempt country but I still got a tourist visa from my country and get to Thailand. So, after my tourist visa expires, can I still do a visa run and enter Thailand as a visa-exempt country citizen?

In short.. Tourist visa > Tourist visa expires > Visa run > Enter as being visa-exempt. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance.

Oh by the way, this is my first post, but I am a member for quite some time now. Soon I will introduce myself on the proper section of this awesome forum.

Cheers!

Hi Craig


You need a 60 day tourist visa. You can apply for this up to 90 days before travelling at any Thai consulate in the UK. There is one in Hull, Birmingham and London. There may be more. You don't have to go in person though that is possible. I'm not sure how much they cost. I think about £20 ish. Google Thai Consulate and whichever town you are near. The price will be on their websites.



EDIT

Just checked. £38 in total from Hull consulate. That includes £10 return postage fee or £10 application in person charge! They get you for a tenner either way!

I believe Romania citizens get 15 days visa on arrival.

The Thai embassy website in Romania LINK

I would imagine you could get a longer tourist visa from the Thai Embassy or consulate nearest you in China though. Would be interesting. Let us know how you get on please.

Pertaining to the bit about visa exemptions not being able to be extended, you might check out this website. Sure it's from the US Govt. rather than the Thais, however, it does seem like extending a visa exemption is entirely and indefinitely possible.

Thanks for the post US-Farang great work!!! Raises an interesting question. I have a buddy that was going to come with me next trip but about 20 years ago he was arrested for (unauthorized use of a vehicle) in the states (felony). He was denied entry into Canada Before because of this,So I guess if you have a felony conviction he will be denied entry? It Kinda suck to travel all that way and be denied entry!!!! I guess I should tell him to send his passport in the Thai embassy for a visa at least that way he would know before we left. Has anyone here entered with a felony Conviction? or Traveled with a Buddy with one?

I have recently traveled with a buddy that has a felony conviction. Not sure if it was luck or lack of knowledge by the Thai Government and I really don't want to ask, but he had absolutely no problem. I never saw anyone ask him or I any questions related to a criminal record. We also went to P.I. and Cambodia with no problem.
