hi,

I have question please,

I have a 2 entries 60 days tourist visa from Israel, now I got already my second 60 days entry and I have 1 month left, and the visa is now used and after the date of it being valid ,

so my question is , when the visa date ( the second 60 days ) is over can I get an extension of more 30 days in an immigration office inside Thailand ? , or I have to fly out and come back for more 30 days ?,

or the only way is to go out of Thailand for some time and make new visa ?

thanks benny.

You can get a 30 day extension of your 60 day entry at an immigration office for a fee of 1900 baht.

Your visas validity does does not limit the amount of time you can be in the country it is only the amount of time you can use your visa for entry.

hi ubonjoe,

first thank you very much on yore quick respond and help,

second I know that now Thailand is much more strict with tourist visa matters, and in years before I got 30 days more easily, so from what I read on the new rules I was under the impression that it is not possible no more, because they think that tourist that here for a long time are maybe work illegally , so they stop extend visa (up to immigration , or only after the first 60 days the extend) and stop give 30 days for tourist that do go in /out flights to get more 30 days ,

and even refuse many time to make a new visa for tourists in laos , Cambodia, Singapore ,because they prefer to lose tourists and not give more visa, because they want to control illegal workers ,

so what is the real situation in visa matters today please ?

thanks benny.

There have been no restrictions placed on getting tourist visas nor the entries from them or extending the 60 day entries for 30 days. Everything is the same as it has been for many years.

There was some restrictions placed upon dong visa exempt entries. It is though certainly not a problem to do one back to back.entry.

But now it is possible to extend a visa exempt entry at immigration for 30 days.
