March 22, 20206 yr Maybe my plan will go up in smoke and I'll need to stay in Thailand another month until things settle. I know anyone new coming in needs health insurance and a COVID-19 doctor certificate. But do you need those to extend VOA by 30 days at immigration? Thanks!
March 22, 20206 yr Great question. I also need to know. Also, will a medical certificate be required? I am also on a 30 day VOA that will be expiring in April and I only have travel insurance for the initial 30-days.
March 22, 20206 yr A 15 day visa on arrival entry cannot normally be extended other than 7 days to leave the country. Or do you mean a 30 day visa exempt entry that can be extended for 30 days. There is no requirement for insurance to get an extension. Also no medical certificate.

Thanks Ubonjoe, for me I have a 30 day visa exempt as a Canadian passport holder.

I'm from UK so have 30 day visa exempt + no insurance. @ubonjoe I don't know if I'm understanding you correctly, but are you saying you can extend the exempt entry 2X? So, Arrive = 30 days Extend once = 30 days Extend again = 30 days Edited March 22, 20206 yr by finy

You qualify for a 30 day visa exempt entry not a 15 day visa on arrival. You can apply for more than one 30 day extension of your visa exempt entry.

I'm sorry for the hassle, I think I'm confusing you and myself lol Let's just say I came in through Mai Sai on the 25th Feb and my entry lasted to the 25th March. Now I can apply for an extra 30 days to make it roughly 60 days in total. I'm just wondering if you're trying to say because of the COVID-19 problems I could potentially extend it again so it would equal roughly 90 days in total? 1 x coming in through Mai Sai + 2 x extensions.

March 22, 20206 yr Author Wow I wonder if they could extend it to 12 months lol Edited March 22, 20206 yr by finy
