Visa-free
Posted by RitaJardim on 20/3/2016 at 04:39
Hello guys!
So I'm going from Laos to Thailand in April, crossing a land border. As a portuguese I'm visa free but only for 14 days as I read on this site. I wanted to have more days. Once in Thailand I'm flying from bkk to ko samui, would it be possible at the airport to get a 30 days visa free? I know it's not crossing a border but it is kinda of coming by air so... I don't know. Can anybody help me with is? Thank you very much!

Sorry no you can't get another 30 days at the airport because it's a domestic flight.
Coming from Laos by land entry you would get 15 days visa-exempt, but that can be extended another 30 days at Thai immigration for 1900 baht.
Other options would be:
- Fly from Laos to Thailand to get 30 days visa-exempt.
- Get a tourist visa in Vientiane to get 60 days by land or air entry.
Both of these options can also be extended 30 days at immigration.

Excellent post.
For what it is worth, I vote for the Thai Embassy Vientiane tourist visa option. You can enjoy a few relaxing days in VTE while your application is processed. Cheers.

Thank you all... But I don't think I'm paying a visa to stay 5 days longer only. I guess I'll go to Malaysia and then decide if it worth to comeback to thailand for free :-)
