If you’re staying/living in Thailand for a longer period on a Thai Tourist Visa or a Non Immigration O, you’ll have to start making the Phuket Visa Run to Penang or daily trips to Andaman Club & Casino and Ranong.

Thai Visa Run info: This is a process where you depart from Thailand for the purposes of getting a new visa for 90 days. It’s a Thai Immigration condition that you must exit the country every 90 days. Even foreigners that are married to Thais do not get permanent residence as a they might get in the United States if he/she marries an American.

So the Phuket Visa Run is a way for expats who need to extend their Thai Visa to allow them to stay longer in Thailand. You will find the famous Thai bureaucracy when you intend to stay in Thailand as a tourist for longer than 30 days consecutively.. you must then apply for a tourist visa. If you’ve never been to Thailand before, getting a single-entry tourist visa, allowing you to stay a maximum of 60 days, shouldn’t be difficult to attain.

Phuket Visa Run – Thai Visa Changes 2010

30-day Thai Visas have been lowered to just 15 days.

Thai Border runs have been cut short due to the recent changes in Thai Immigration rules regarding overland entry. Now Foreigners entering Thailand via border posts at Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, and Malaysia without securing a visa prior to entry will now only be granted 15 days of stay in the Thailand as opposed to the previous Visa on Arrival, which was valid for 30 days.

According to a spokesman for the Thai Immigration Bureau, the new regulation was created to encourage foreigners to secure the proper visa in advance from a Royal Thai Embassy prior to their arrival in the country.

However, this change only applies to visitors who have not obtained a visa beforehand, and are entering from the border by land (including Ranong). Those who arrive at the airport without a prior visa will continue to receive a 30-day visa stamp. Extensions at Thai Immigration after the Visa on Arrival has expired, remain at 7 days, after which you must leave the country or pay the penalty for overstaying the visa.

The only exception to the new regulation will be Malaysian passport holders traveling from Malaysia, as they will continue to receive the 30-day Visa on Arrival. Immigration authorities further clarified that there is no longer a limit on the number of times a foreigner may enter Thailand within the days allowed on the Visa on Arrival. The former provision stating that visitors cannot stay for more than 90 days within six months has already been dropped.

Beyond 90 Days.. You can now enjoy Thailand longer!

Some good news for tourists.. following the new regulation set by Thai Immigration, visitors can now come regularly to Thailand without limiting their stay within a total of 90 days in a six-month period.

The restriction has already been lifted so tourists can now visit Thailand as often as they want, provided that they obtain 30 day Visa on Arrival at airports and 15 day Visa on Arrival if they are traveling via land borders.

However, immigration officials still recommend getting visas prior to arrival in Thailand, as they remind visitors that back-to-back short visas are not the proper way to extend the stay in the country on a long-term basis.

This new regulation is predicted to greatly benefit travel agencies as more border trips are expected to be booked with the increased influx of tourists eager to renew their visas.. for more detailed Thai Visa info.. check out the Thai Visa Forum.
