Thank you !

Thank you DrJack, that was also my understanding, but I'd rather have confirmation, rules can change quickly with immigration. I feel better now ;)

Wow he was lucky, I'm usually firmly requested to show my return ticket to my home country after a SETV = extension+ 2 weeks in the Phils

Thank you. To be more clear I would like to do a 30 days extension, then a visa run (most probably Ranong with Andaman Club) and then go to Phils for 2 weeks. My flights in and out of Thailand are from 13 December to 29 March, so 107 days in all. Of course I will plan the duration of my trip to the Philippines so that I don't have to stay more than 30 days in Thailand before flying home. What bothered me is the fact that a 30 days extension could be considered a visa run, but apparently that is wrong.

Hi all, I couldn't get a SETV in time so I entered mid December with a visa-exempt entry. I will need to do a 30 days extension and 2 visa runs (one being a 2 weeks stay in the Philippines) in order to stay until end of March. I thought I was good but I read on a website that you were allowed 1 30-days extension + 1 visa run or 2 visa runs per year. Could anyone confirm that 1 30 days extension + 2 visa runs is possible ? Thanks !

No the e-visa document doesn't show flight information (used it last year). The important thing I got from my exchange with the Thai embassy in France today is that you're entering Thailand from the country in which the visa was issued, and that's your case.

Thanks a lot Joe, update : I went and asked at the Thai embassy (Paris) and they told me no. Maybe a french requirement, and doesn't mean it wouldn't work at actual borders but I think I will go with the 45+30 days visa exempt entry to be on the safe side.

Dear Ubonjoe, I'm in this very situation where my passport renewal has been super delayed and I need to enter Thailand before the usual time needed to obtain a TR e-visa. for example if I enter with a visa exempt stamp, go to Malaysia for a couple days and use my e-visa upon re-entering Thailand, would you consider it risky ? Thanks !
