I'm in Thailand on a multi entry tourist visa issued in Australia.

I got 60 days on arrival last November, extended it for 30 days in January, did a border run to Chong Chom in February and next week was going for another 30 day extension to leave in early May.

My flight has just been cancelled so my question is, can I do another border bounce instead of the extension?

The visa is valid until 4th of May.

Thanks in advance.

Summary so far

The user inquiries about doing another border bounce instead of applying for an extension on their tourist visa, due to a flight cancellation. However, comments indicate that all land borders are currently closed and suggest applying for a 30-day extension. There's also mention of obtaining a letter from the embassy due to travel restrictions.

Forgot about the closed borders.

Do I have to go to the embassy for that letter or will they email or something?

Love your work.

I'm out in the sticks.

Go to your embassy here's website and look for the covid-19 update. Most have it on their main page.

Almost all immigration offices are accepting the emailed PDF file of the embassy request letter.

BUT you didn't even get your "normal" 30 day extension on this entry yet, SO go do that when this stamp is running down as it doesn't need the embassy letter.

IF you need more time after that you would have to ask your embassy for the "unable to travel due to covid-19" letter so you could apply for the emergency extensions.

News flash there slick :O ALL the land borders are closed and IF you flew out you couldn't get back IN to thailand on a tourist visa now with the entry requirements.

You can go get a 30 day extension on this most recent 60 day stamp for 1900baht
