Basic Visa Rules

First of all, official circulations and rules are often not used, this written script is based on my own experience and known facts.

Types of Visa
1. Tourist Visa on Arrival
3. Non-Immigrant Visa B

Tourist Visa on Arrival

You get one for free if you belong to a citizen of one of the 56 countries listed below. (this will change in the near future) at the border when entering Thailand. 

Maximum stay in Thailand on this visa: 30 days in a row

Extension: at Immigration office (Soi 8) you can get a 30 day extension for 500 baht.

Take 2 photographs with you, and 2 copies main pages of your Passport

Remark: When buying a single ticket to Thailand, it is possible than your airplane carrier will comment you, and ask for buying a full return Ticket!!.  In case you like to enter Thailand with a ONE-WAY ticket try to obtain a NON Immigrant visa. This gives mostly satisfaction to the airplane carrier staff, but not always...!!!!!.

Non Immigrant Visa B

This visa is normally given in the country of your passport. It is valid for 1 year.

Note: This visa is marked as a business visa. To apply for this visa you need to show one or more papers (invitations) from Thailand based companies, Prepare an invitation letter or letter than you want to research investment opportunities. 

Types: Single Journey / Multiple Journey

Single Journey; A bit cheaper than the multiple visa, but more or less not useful. The visa expires after your first visit.

Maximum stay in Thailand on this visa: 90 days in a row

Price: depend on country you reside, around 25 USD

Multiple Journey; Best and cheapest way to visit Thailand. With this visa you can enter and leave the country as often as you whish.

Maximum stay in Thailand on this visa: 90 days in a row

Price: depend on your country you reside, around 40 USD

After the 90 days you just call one of the Visa shops and book a guided tour to Cambodia to renew your visa. Daily Tours are available from 2200 Baht. include all border fees and transportation.

NON Immigrant Visa (For 1 year)

Application Fee is around 10.000-15.000 baht, but you need to show a lot of papers before starting out.

Next to that you still need to show up at the immigration office every 90 days, to fill in a paper where you life. To my knowledge this visa also has another problem; the visa expires while leaving the country for a short business trip or what-ever reason. In case you do not want to expire the visa automatically you need to fill in special papers at the border.
