Can I apply for another tourist visa if my current days are running out while transitioning to a non-r visa in Thailand?
Hey i am an american passport holder Almost ran up all my tourist visa days meaning 60 +extension of 30 days.. i am trying to change my visa but it seems that there are some mistakes on the documents the ministries made that need to be changed, and my days are runing out to secure a non-r visa from a tourist visa... can i reply for another tourist visa if the days are not enough? If so is it best to go to laos or malaysia to do this?

Did you make any entry in Thailand without a visa so far?Amornrat **********
If you did not do the 2 border run for this year you could still go to border Chom Jong near Buriram/Khorat to get a quick OUT/IN 30 day entry stamp.

And if your documents are still not ready, you can get another 30 day extension on that.
