Hello. An SETV issued in a Philippines passport came rubber-stamped with the statement "Period of stay not over 59 days according to bilateral agreement." The visa was used on Jan 31, admitted until March 31. Does the statement mean that they can't apply for a 30-day extension at immigration, or is it simply a statement clarifying the period of stay given upon entry?
Answer summary
The statement "Period of stay not over 59 days according to bilateral agreement" on an SETV indicates that the initial permitted stay is capped at 59 days due to an agreement between Thailand and the Philippines. Generally, this means that the individual cannot apply for a standard 30-day extension; however, specific immigration policies should be confirmed with local immigration authorities as they may provide options or exceptions.
