fotunate Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I was just in the Thai US DC embassy website researching entry requirements and I noticed in the frequently asked questions section, # 2, that visa emption time period (30 days) can NOT be extended. Is this a recent change? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJack54 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Every entry from a visa exempt can be extended once by 30 days. Best to apply for extension one or 2 weeks prior to expiry of your stamp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ubonjoe Posted February 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 2, 2022 That is just false and outdated info on that embassy website along with many others. They have had that info on their websites for a long time since they never learned about them being available since 2014 when the immigration order allowing them was issued. You can apply for a 30 day extension of your visa exempt entry. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post WEBBYB808 Posted February 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 2, 2022 I arrived Feb 8 2020. I came on a 30, and extended one time, and then Covid created first the amnesty, and then Extension based on Covid. I as a tourist have been requesting and have been granted extensions based on Covid ever since. The two year anniversary of my arrival here will be in 6 days. 3 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Answer: yes by 30 days per entry. And by my example it is implied that of course he can, as I been doing that for two years. There fore, if I can do it for two years, then the one asking in the OP should have no problem. Why does that seem confusing to you when the others who are reading my reply can understand exactly what I was relaying by examole? Dont get upset now because others understood my reply and it wasn't confusing to them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A visa exempt entry can only obtain one 30 day extension per entry. The fact that you subsequently had amnesty and covid extensions etc is irrelevant. Your confused.

kuidaore Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I have a related question - was given a 60 day extension on my visa exempt entry, and the new exit date (stamp) is red ink. Just the date, everything else is purple - is this one of those dreaded "red stamps" I've heard people taking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That stamp it red since it the most important thing on the extension stamp and makes it easy for officers to see, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that you subsequently had amnesty and covid extensions etc is irrelevant. Your confused. And I suppose the "FACT" that I arraived on a 30 day on arrival is irrelevant too? And then wait for it. I got a 30 day extension and I suppose that too is irrelevant, am I correct? So, what that I was here for the amnesty? After that I recieved and continued to recieve 60 day extensions. But I suppose that's irrelevant to? Oh! Wait theres more, and several of my friends have arrived on a 30 day, recieved the 30 days extension, and then guess what? No go ahead and guess! They asked for and recieved a 60 days extension under the current Covid extensions, so if these are facts then you must be mistaken that people who arrive on a 30 day can only get 30 day extensions. You just cant handle being wrong can you? One can arrive on a 30 day, get an additional 30 day extension and the request the 60 day extension based on COVID. This is fact and it happens all the time. Once again I say, I been doing it for two years, and I came on a 30 day. Once again I say factually that I have had friends in the last few months arrive on a 30 day, get an additional 30 only to request a 60 day extension and be granted. Its amazing how many people cant admit when they are wrong. You seem to fall under that category. Fact is people who arrive on a 30 day can and do get 60 days covid extensions. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanuman2547 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 About three years ago a friend of mine came to Bangkok with his Thai wife for 30 days. During that time he found that he needed to extend his time in Thailand. He went to the Immigration office in Samut Prakan as he and his wife were staying at her house which is located in that province. He still had a bout three or four days left on his 30 day visa exempt. They extended his visa exempt status for another 30 days. The cost for this was 1,900 baht. He is an infrequent visitor as they only come to Thailand about every other year. Not sure if that matters or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is correct. Make him aware that if ever needs a slightly longer stay he can obtain a 60 extension to visit wife. He can obtain that in addition to his 30 day visa exempt extension.
