<title>Buy Tourist Visa And Not Use It Until After Free Entry Has Expired?</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Hey everyone. I'm going to be arriving in Bangkok in 3 weeks and would love if somebody could answer me this question.

If I purchase a tourist visa before I go, can I keep it unused until after the 30 day free entry has expired? Or is the tourist visa something stamped in my passport which they would notice and require me to use first?

I want to spend 3 weeks in Thailand. Then head to Vietnam and eventually back to Thailand for a longer stay. Maybe 4 weeks. Not having to make boarder runs would be ideal.

I've never had to get a visa before, is it just a passport stamp or a whole separate article?

Please let me know.
Thanks!
Ryan
I'm Canadian if that makes any difference. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Hi

I have been banging my head out all day looking at different sites and i am tearing my hair out. lol. 

Please someone help me. Would be much appreciated :)

The situation is:

Im going to thailand on 2nd april flying with emirates. My flight leaves on 7th may heading to OZ. Therefore i will be in the country more than 30 days ( of which i know i get a free 30 day visa on arrival into BKK).

However, after about 10 days in thailand i am hoping over to Laos for a week. I know my 30 day visa would expire and i would get a 15 day visa on return into thailand (which works out fine as ill time it so its 15 days prior to 7th may when my flight leaves thailand)

My problem is, should i get a tourist visa ? Iv heard immigration ... ]]></description>

<title>Chinese Visa From Thailand Or Vietnam?</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Hi All

Our first time on the forum. Could anyone advise us if we can get a tourist visa for China from either  Hanoi  or Bangkok.  

We are British citizens and have looked online and it seems you must apply within your resident country but surely we're not the 1st couple to travel and decide to go to China??  Anyone managed to get it sorted out of their home country?

Any help is welcomed

Thank you

This cycling blog along with a couple of threads on Thorntree note that Lao visa on arrival is now available at the overland crossing between Cambodia and Laos. Cost is reportedly US$35 for most nationalities, $42 for Canadians.

<description><![CDATA[ Ok, I think I got this now, and that my free 30days will be
enough, but if someone could confirm i would be happy. :)

I'm going to Thailand on 17th of May, I will clear immigration
and stay in thailand for maybe 1 day upon my arrival. Then I will continue
my travel to Philipines and stay there for about 10 days.
I will then travel back to Thailand (by Air)and stay there until 24th of June.

Will my 30day free visa be enough for this? I will not stay in Thailand
for my than 30 days total, but my entry date and departure date will be more than 30 days apart. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Hello Travelfish!

I will be traveling through SE Asia shortly - flying into Bangkok then going overland to Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, and back into Thailand by land. On my first trip to Thailand I plan to be there less than 30 days, so I could simply use the 30-day visa-exemption to get in, however, I don't have an outbound flight. I've heard that the main problem with the 'proof of onward travel' is that the airlines may deny boarding, not that Thai immigration will deny entry. On my second trip to Thailand, I plan to be there more than 15 days, which I believe is the maximum for an overland entry. With that said, I was wondering if I could get a single entry Tourist Visa to negate the proof of onward travel requirement for my first ... ]]></description>

I was wondering if anyone could help me. I'll try and make this as simple as possible. Basically I fly into  Hanoi  on the 8th April and depart from Bangkok on the 15th July.

The plan is to visit Vietnam for a month, Cambodia for 15 days and Thailand for 1.5 months. We will be travelling by train from Vietnam into Cambodia, and from Cambodia into Thailand by train. Does anyone have any tips for crossing points and arrival/departure desitantions. 

However, my main confusion is Visas!! which do I need before I travel?? Is it better to obtain them before I depart or at the arrival of each country (As im not sure what my departure and arrival dates are for each country)

I hope this makes sense, and any help would ... ]]></description>

<title>Easiest/cheapest Way To Obtain 30 Day Visa Into Thailand</title>

<pubDate>Mon, 18 Jan 2010 01:24:30 +0000</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[ Hi everyone:)

I have had a massive read through the forums regarding Thai visas, but still cannot decide what my best option is!

We'll be spending time in Singapore/Vietnam/Cambodia before crossing overland via the Poipet boarder crossing into Thailand. We want to stay for around 3-4 weeks, 15 days just won't be enough. We can't justify buying a flight from  Siem Reap  to Bangkok... there must be a cheaper way!

So:
How easy it is to obtain a 30 day visa in either Singapore, Hanoi, Saigon or Phnom Penh, how much are these approximately, do they take long to issue and do they start when we cross the border into Thailand or from the date of issue?

The Thai embassy in New Zealand is in a different city and it just seems like a ... ]]></description>
