Before October 1, 2006, get Thailand visa is
very easy. Many countries can have visa on arrival for 30 days.
Then just leave at any border and get in again you will get another
30 days waive visa stamp.
Now all change!
"On October 1 the Kingdom of Thailand introduced a new visa
policy to restrict the number of times a foreigner can enter the
country during a certain period of time.
The policy states that one can only stay in Thailand for 90 days
in a period of six months, after which one must leave the country
and stay outside for another 90 days before they can re-enter."
This mean you will still get 30 days visa on arrival and if it
going to expire, you just leave at the border and get in again
you will get another 30 days. If you already stay in Thailand
for 90 days, you need to leave the country or stay outside for
another 90 days!
If you apply for visa at any Thailand Embassy, you will get 60
days single entry visa and then you can extend only another 30
days for 1,900 Baht. ($US 50)
Vsa expiration date as shown on the visa, is called visa validity.
The Expiration Date for the visa should not be confused with
the authorized length of your stay in Thailand, given to you by
the immigration officer at port-of-entry. The visa expiration
date has nothing to do with the authorized length of your stay
in Thailand for any given visit.
