    Hi, I am just wondering how long are you allowed to stay in Thailand for at one time for tourism? I read that you can only stay for 30days max? Is this true?

    yes 30 days. if you need a visa longer than that then you can either a visa in the thai embassy here in dublin or just do a border run while in thailand! literally just leave and come back in and there'l be no problems!

    Last I heard was it's 30 days if you arrive by air, 15 if you arrive by land.

    Can you still do visa runs in and out of neighbouring countries?

    So in other words you can leave and come back, but only for 15 days, is this correct?

    Yes thats true but be careful with your dates. Its a new visa not an extension... so if your visa is due to expire on the 20th and you border run on the 15th you will loose the last 5 days, get me?
    Also, you can only get 2 visas before you have to leave the country for 90 days. I got a visa for 15days overland from Malaysia, went to Burma for another 15days, got a 7 day extension in Samui and HAD to leave or face proscecution.
    Have you left Ireland yet? If not contact the embassy and get a tourist visa before you leave - so much easier. If your in Malaysia you can get a 60day tourist visa for free from the Thai embassy too!

    Does it cost anything to get a tourist visa from the embassy?
