Covid extension for STV?

How oftrn and over what period can I enter Thailand with an exemption visa (UK citizen)?

Once.....the day that you arrive.

 

After a Visa Exempt entry you can get a 30 day extension from your local IO.

 

This can be done at least a week in advance of the expiry date of your original entry stamp.

 

You may be able to book an appointment online to visit your local IO.

 

The 30 days will run from the date on which your original stamp expires.

 

Ooh.......I sound like a real "pro" don't I?

 

However I am in a state of uncertainty as to if I can get a 60 day Covid Extension in advance of the expiry date of my 60 day Tourist Visa, instead of getting an ordinary 30 day extension (in advance etc,) which would be my usual practice.

 

Expiry date of Tourist Visa entry 5th February.

 

Covid Visa appointment booked for 24th January (my birthday).

 

All contributions gratefully received.

You will be made to obtain 30 day "standard extension" to your TV permission of stay.

You could do that prior to Jan 25.

After that you can apply for covid extension IF they are continued.

I think that they will be extended FWIW.

OK, thanks for that.

 

30+60 would be "nicer".

 

Fingers crossed.

Thanks Enoon for your reply. I think you misunderstood my query.

On expiry of current EV and departing Thailand how soon can I return with another EV and how often can I repeat this process?

Won't happen, but good luck.

I understood by your first reply that you thought the Covid extensions would be continued, in which case a 30 day extension followed by a 60 day Covid extension would actually suit my purposes better.

 

Hence I'm keeping my fingers crossed that your prediction of Covid exts. continuing is correct.

You can keep getting as many Visa Exemption entries as you like, as soon as you like (if you enter by air) in theory.

 

In practice Immigration might not like you doing that.

 

Other people would know how that sort of regime was being viewed by Immigration before "The Time of COVID".

 

I think it would be a real PITA to try and do it at the moment.

 

You can only have 2 Visa exempt entries by land in a calendar year.
