3 months tourist visa from within Thailand, Bangkok after entering on a 30 day visa exempt?

[Kitano298]

Can you apply and likely receive a 3 month tourist visa from within Thailand after entering on a 30 day visa exempt?

 

British citizen. Now I know Thai people who are willing to supply their info for the visa form, invitation

 

Thank you

No such thing as a 3 month tourist visa. 

Tourist Visa is 60 days and cannot be obtained inside Thailand.

Do you mean a Non O visa. 

Non O based on retirement or marriage can be obtained from visa exempt entry.

You might be able to get the 60-day covid extension if that continues this year...as land borders are still not freely and fully open around Thailand.

Ah, i arrived on a visa exempt 30 days on Dec 31st, and would like to stay as long as possible, naturally. Are you saying it maybe possible to get a 60 day extension due to covid rather than the 30 days? I would just go to the visa centre and ask for a 60 day extension?

Seems that you have done very little research.

From visa exempt your first step will be "standard" 30 day extension.

That starts from end of current permit.

The covid extensions are due to end Jan 25.

You will be able to obtain a covid extension if they continue to be issued post Jan 25.

I think they will be. 

I assume that your under 50yr.

Grand. Thank you. So hopefully covid extensions will continue on after Jan 25th, as my current visa exempt ends last day in January. If that is the case, I will ask for a covid extension at the visa centre

You most likely will not have choice re type of extension.

 

If covid extensions  are continued you will be first made to apply for the standard 30 day extension.

After that you may be able to apply for covid extension.
