Since the 45 day stamp is no longer in use, if I still want to stay longer than 30 days is it ok to book return flight and accommodation based on getting a 30 day extension? I have Australian passport and would like to stay for 7 weeks later this year in Chiang Mai. Will they pick up my tickets and accommodation are more than 30 days. Thanks in advance. Happy Songkran.

Answer summary

The user wants to stay in Thailand for 7 weeks with an Australian passport after the 30-day stamp rule change. They ask if booking a return flight and accommodation is advisable given the 30-day extension policy. Comments suggest considering a Single-Entry Tourist Visa for an initial 60-day stay to avoid complications with airlines and immigration.

Later this year and you want to stay 7 weeks on a 30 day stamp?

More than time enough to apply for a Single Entry Tourist Visa and get 60 days on entry without hassle with airline companies or buying fake tickets to show.

Apply for a single-entry tourist visa if possible. It would reduce the hassle with airlines, time in Thailand to visit the local immigration office, and an official fee (the SETV fee at the embassy is cheaper than the extension fee at immigration offices in Thailand).

You'll need to ask your airline. Thai immigration is unlikely to care but the airline may refuse boarding
