Tourist Visa

[michael_pty]

From the immigration homepage regarding Tourist Visas:

"In case visitors wish to continue touring the country, and extension can be applied for and once it’s granted, an extension will be up to 30 days or in extenuating circumstances up to a one year extension. "

So what are this "extenuating circumstances" for the one year extension?

You cannot get a 1 year extension on a tourist visa.You need a non immigrant visa.A tourist visa can only be extended for 30 days and,I belive,a further 7 days but it is not cheap.

You can get a 1 year extension, but, you need a very, very good reason. Like going to hospital for a few months or something like that.

You will probably get this extension if you have to do time in the Bangkok Hilton.

Other than that, forget what you saw on the website.

Naka.
