Dear Sir,
I would like to inquire that if I am a Malaysian who is travelling in Thailand and wish to go to Cambodia, do I need a re-entry visa if I were to enter Thailand from Cambodia? Kindly enlighten me the necessary information or trusted link if re-entry visa is needed.
Thanks.
No, you can enter on visa exemption for a maximum of 15 days if you enter by land, or 30 days if you enter by air.
Hi, I have a work permit already dated July 5,2016 – July 4,2017. My NON-B visa expires this SEPTEMBER 28,2016 and I cannot fie for 1 year extension because the accounting are still waiting for the release of SOCIAL SECURITY INSURANCE. In short I don’t have papers to file for extension yet. Temporarily I went out to Laos for tourist visa which expires this NOV 25,2016.
My question is, do I need to file again for WP3, NON-B, even though I already have a working permit? Or I can file directly for 1 year extension as soon as the accounting staff receive the papers needed in filling 1 year extension?
Please advice thanks
You will need to apply for a 90-day Non Immigrant B visa again and then apply for an extension once you are in Thailand based on the same work permit that you currently have.

Hi,
My fiance lives in Bangkok and works in Amnuay Silpa Bilingual School as a geography and history teacher. I was seeing her last October and will come back in July and October of this current year, when she has her school holidays.
I’m from Colombia and last time I got my Thai visa (August 2015) I paid 40 USD for 3 months, it was in Costa Rica. Now I’m in Bogota and today I contacted the consulate but they said that the 3 months visa will cost 80 USD or the 6 months will cost 170 USD, more than double price than last year.
My question is, would it be possible to get a one year visa, or something like that? Because I will keep going back to see my fiance, but I don’t want to be paying 80 USD or 170 USD every 3 or six months.
I hope you can help me out with this.
Sincerely thanks.
You may only apply for a 1-year visa when you meet the qualifications or requirements for a particular type of visa. For further information in this regard, please contact the Thai Embassy or Consulate near your area.
