Visas and Entry-Regulations
Citizens from over 50 countries including England, America,
Canada, Australia and New Zealand etc. can stay in Thailand
without a visa for a maximum of 30 days which is stamped
into your passport on entry.
Tourist visas valid for up to 60 days are issued by Thai-Embassies
abroad and cost about 10 Pounds (US$15). For multiple
entries you can get permits for up to four entries. These
are valid altogether for 90 days and cost 10 Pounds (US$15)
per entry.
The 60-Day-Tourist-Visa can be extended for 30 days, afterwards
another 14 and then again a further 7 days. Each extension
costs 500 Baht. The 30-days visa-free residence-permit
can only be extended in medical case for a maximum of
7-10 days.
(The Immigration-Office in Laem Ngop is located on the
main street, about 700 metres after the intersection in
Laem Ngop, coming from Trat, directly beside the police-station.
Telephone 039/59 72 61, opening-hours are from Monday
- Friday 8.30 am - 12.00 am and 1.00 pm - 4.30 pm. For
visa-extensions dress properly, bring along a passport-picture
and 500 Baht.)
With re-entry-permits or double-entry-visas you can leave
the country to Cambodia and return into Thailand without
a problem within 30 - 45 minutes. Also a new 30-days-residence-permit
is available this way. The border intersection is at Hat
Lek and can be reached from Trat in approximately 1 hour
by mini bus or taxi. (More information can be found under
Ko-Chang-Information', 'Arrival &
Departure', '6)Travel from Laem Ngop'. For map
see 'Ko-Kood-Special', 'The
exact location in the Gulf of Thailand'.)
1100 Baht is necessary for the Cambodian visa as well
as a passport picture (or 100 Baht more without a picture).
Sometimes a "small amount" for immediate return
back into Thailand is expected by the Cambodian border
officials (between 300 and 500 Baht - negotiable!).
The complete journey can be achieved from Koh Chang problem-free
within a day.
Overstay
Exceeding the stay of your residence permit or visa by
a few days will result in you paying a fine of 200 Baht
for every day. If this is the case you should therefore
arrive for departure some time before takeoff at the immigration-office
as filling out the appropriate forms takes some time!
Longer overstay will end at court and if the fine cannot
be paid you are inevitably sent to prison! |
