Thailand will introduce new visa regulations as pr 1. October 2006. To get a clear picture of exactly how the rules will apply, the Danish Embassy has contacted the Immigration Division in Bangkok and received the following explanation:
Foreigners who have entered Thailand on a 30 days visa can only extend their stay by travelling in and out (visarun) two times, which alltogether amounts to 90 days.
If a foreigner after these 90 days wish to extend their stay further, the foreigner should leave the country and contact the Thai Embassy or Thai Consulate abroad and here apply for a tourist visa valid for two months.
It is solely up to the respective Embassy or Consulate if they wish to issue the visa.
After this, the process with visa-run can start again, if the foreigner still wishes to stay in Thailand.
For further information please have a look at the Thai Immigration Bureaus homepage.
