Hey all, just arrived back to the UK after staying in Thailand for 9 months on the Special Tourist Visa. Planning the trip back. Am I fine to apply for another new Special Tourist Visa (Another 9 months)? Just been accepted the Thailand Pass but wasn't sure how that worked alongside the visa? Thanks in advance!

That's great news 👍 Thanks! When looking for the correct site to apply for the STV, I can only mostly find the older posts / application information such as the old 'ASQ needed' - Seems they're not updated often. Can someone please point me in the direction of where to apply for the correct Special Tourist Visa 2022? 🙏

You can only do 2x90 provided you enter Thailand before July 3.

"Those entering Thailand with STV before 3 July 2022, i.e. their initial period of 90 days expired before or on 30 September 2022, can seek the extension of their stay for a further 90 days. They must submit their request for extension before 30 September 2022.
