SETV extension

[MarkyM3]

Hi,

 

I arrived on 3rd February on a 60 day tourist visa issued from the London Embassy. 3rd April is my exit date in the passport, which is a Sunday.

 

I'm aware I can extend by 30 days at an immigration office. Do I get the full 30 day extension even if I go in advance to immigration, or do I need to go as late as possible (presumably Friday 1st April?). 

 

I actually need to stay in Thailand until 30 June so is there any prospect of getting a 2 month extension due to C19 instead of 30 days? If not, then if I do a visa run in early May to get another 30 days, can I then extend this for 30 more days at immigration in Thailand?

 

Many thanks

You're only able to do the 30 days extension first. If the COVID extensions continue after March then you'll qualify for the 60 day ones. You'll get the full 30 days even if you go in advance.

And yes, you can also extend a visa exempt entry for 30 days. Or, if there's one open, you could go to a consulate in a foreign country and get a new 60-day tourist visa.
