ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello there! I was wondering if you could help me with some visa questions.

I got a Thai Visa issued before my trip valid for 2 Months back in Mexico city, I have a Mexican Passaport.

 I understand that after the 2 months I could get a 30 days extension at a Thai Embassy for 1900 bth.

However, I was wondering if instead of the 30 days extension at the embassy I could do a Visa run so I don't need to pay the full 1900 bth, and re enter Thailand for another 30 days. 

I would like to stay in Thailand for 30 more days so my question is, if I do a visa run with a mexican passport after my two months are over am I allowed, as a mexican, to get 30 more days? Or just 15?

Thank you so much!!!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquired about extending their stay in Thailand with a Mexican passport after their initial two-month visa. They wanted to know if a visa run would grant them an additional 30 days or just 15 days. Responses indicated that Mexico is not eligible for a visa exemption, suggesting that a visa run may only allow for a 15-day stay. It was advised to extend the current visa for 1,900 THB at a local immigration office for a full 30-day extension.

Pay the 1,900 Thai baht for the 30 days extension at local Thai Immigration office.

You only get 15 days visa on arrival.

Thanks Stuart, Steve and Benjamin for correct replies.

You don't pay for extensions at a thai embassy as there are NO thai embassies in thailand. You pay it at the local immigration office wherever you are staying.

You qualify for a 15 day visa on arrival. If you apply for an extension, IF they accept the application, it will be denied and you will ahve 7 days to leave Thailand. My advice, pay the 1,900 THB and extend your current visa.

Mexico isn’t on the list of countries allowed for visa exemption. I’m not sure a border bounce is possible. I’d wait for the more knowledgeable to confirm.

You are right! Good catch. They are a visa on arrival country.
