How Can I Stay For 6mths In Thailand With The New Rules?

[Doonagirl]

Hi ya. I am Australian and wanting to head to Thailand next April to travel the country for 6mths. I know I can get a 60 day visa before I leave. Once this runs out am I then able to do a border run and extend for 30 days? When the 30 days runs out can I then do 2 more border runs to extend this by 60 days. So in total it may be possible to stay 5 mths....... or is it simply 90 days and your out?

A little advice on this would be appreciated.

Thanks

A two entry tourist visa could be used as 60+30 (imm ext) exit/entry 60+30 (imm ext) to provide the six months stay.

Contact a consulate in your home country and tell them that you wont to stay in Thailand for six months doing visa runs of course, and they may be able to give you a visa fitting for your requirements. Prehaps show proof of money for your stay etc.

If you cound get a 90 day tourist visa, followed by three one month visa runs this would do it for you.
