I browse today i found out that Thailand already change the rules about visa ! yess people ! be careful and do RE-ARRANGE your long stay in Thailand !!
This rules already applied since December 2008... uuhhhh.. i just know this today ! few days before i left.. and lucky me i got some information to share !
Travelers without visa will get only 15 days of stay if they are arriving via a land border checkpoint from a neighboring country. Its means if you're from Malaysia and entering Thailand with bus or train, you will only granted 15 days stay in Thailand. But if you fly down to Thailand, the rules will be the same, you will be granted with 30 days visa.
I can't belief it until i see my self the very own Thailand Gov. website that said about this new visa rules !
Only several countries that listed as exception of this rules like Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Korea, and Tunisia.
For further information you could go to the website i just mention and contact Immigration Bureau, in Bangkok.
Yupp saudara2 baru saja saya temukan perubahan yang terjadi pada aturan soal visa di Thailand. Sebelumnya kita, pemegang passport indonesia bisa tinggal dengan gratis tanpa bayaran visa di Thailand selama 30 hari, tapi sekarang hanya 15 hari ! cateeettt !!
Kalau misalnya kita masuk ke Thailand lewat udara, melalui airport, kita tetap di kasih 30 hari, gak ada perubahan, tapi kalau lewat perbatasan dengan negara lain, seperti Malaysia.. dan dengan menggunakan kereta api atau bus/transport darat, kita cuma bisa dapat 15 hari izin tinggal di Thailand.
Tahun 2007 dulu waktu kita pertama kali ke Thailand, kita berdua dapat stempel visa 30 hari. Hiks...
Untung kali ini kita pake pesawat langsung dari KL ke Phuket.... hehe jadi teteup dapat 30 hari euuyyy ! (kayak mau lama aja di Thailand...hehehe who knows ? wink wink)
