VISA
RULES If you are on a tourist visa living or
staying in Thailand the days of visa runs are over. Maximum
stay of 90 days for foreigners then you must leave for 90
days. Visa-on-arrival (VOA) regulations HAVE BEEN tightened for
nationals of 41 countries to prevent abuse of the privilege
and curb the rising number of illegal entries, according to
the Immigration Police Bureau (IPB). Foreign nationals from
those countries, including the US, China and India, can stay longer but with fewer chances of renewing the
VOA.
Effective April 1 2007.
Visa exemptions,
or “visas on arrival”, allow tourists from certain countries who arrive at
a Thai border without a visa to have permits-to-stay,
normally for a period of 30 days, issued by Immigration officials.
People who enter Thailand on a ‘visa exemption’ are permitted to stay only 90 days in a six-month period,
From April 1, they count only the days the foreigner has
stayed in Thailand and foreigners are now allowed to stay
past the 180-day period,
The number of consecutive visa exemptions allowed is no longer limited to three. Those who choose to enter on multiple visa exemptions it is up to the discretion of the Immigration officer how many days to grant the new arrival, provided it is 30 days or fewer. The 90-day rule does not affect people who have been issued a visa from a Royal Thai Embassy or Consulate overseas.
Parents bringing children to Thailand to attend school, can apply for non-immigrant ED visas for their children at any Royal Thai Embassy outside Thailand. Parents can apply for a non-immigrant O visas for themselves so they can enter the country and care for their children here, and then they can apply for permits to stay at the Immigration office after entering the country.
Many international schools in Thailand help parents prepare applications for permits to stay & children under 14 years old are not fined for an overstay.
