gma992 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 So, I arrived on February this year with a 60-day tourist visa, then extended using the covid extensions till August, when I left. This was more than 180 days, or 6months. I planned to go somewhere else this winter but there are no good options in Asia at the moment, everything is closed or with 2 weeks quarantine. Would I be allowed in with a tourist visa or visa-exemption if I’ve been more than 6 months already in Thailand this year? Or there's a high chance of immigration turning me down?

DrJack54 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) If you obtain a tourist visa you will be admitted into Thailand. How long do you plan to be outside of Thailand Edited December 12, 2021 by DrJack54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me rephrase then: Would I be given a Tourist visa if I’ve been more than 6 months already in Thailand this year? Or there's a high chance of the embassy/consulate turning me down?

In Spain, I have to send the passport and documents it to a different province via normal mail, so is not very straight forward and I have to plan the timing really well with all other stuff like thaipass, PCR's, flights, etc, ..

There is no limit on the amount of time you use a tourist visa for entry or apply for a new one. The 180 days is made up rule that some immigration officers created at a couple of airports. You can only apply for the tourist visa at the Thai embassy in Madrid. A tourist visa is valid to use for 3 months from the date of issue. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget, that if you stay more than 180 days in Thailand within a calendar year, you are in principle fully income taxable in Thailand...???? 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
