50 day visit with Thai wife, leaving asap.

[samsingsong]

My Thai wife and I (we're in UK) want about a 50 day visit family / holiday, but leaving soon, around 10 - 15 February. (wife worried about her mum).

Checking Thai Embassy visa website, it's a bit short notice to get a 60 day tourist visa. Plus I need to show tickets to apply for a Tourist Visa, and I don't want to buy tickets until sure everything else works out OK. 

If I enter on the 30 Day visa exempt basis, is it easy to extend that these days? 

We will be staying near Jomtien and visiting family in Korat. The last time I went to Jomtien immigration it was bursting with people and took ages. Would it be easier to go to immigration in Korat? (never tried there before).

Grateful for any advise please.

If you enter on a Visa Exempt Entry you can get a 60 day extension to visit your Wife.

You can enter visa exempt= 30 days.

You can extend that by 30.

You can extend that by "60 days to visit wife"

 

Many other combinations to cover your stay. 

 

Note: your Thai wife needs to enter on her Thai pp and not UK
