Hallo everyone,

I am coming by visa on arrival by airplane. Can I extend my 30 days visa in Koh Samui for 15 or 30 days? Wanna stay 43 days altogether. I don’t wanna do a visa run. 

Thanks a lot for help 🙂

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user queries about extending their 30-day visa on arrival in Koh Samui for a longer stay of 43 days. A commenter clarifies that instead of a visa on arrival, they have received a visa exempt entry which can indeed be extended for an additional 30 days at the immigration office for a fee.

You are not getting ANY visa on arrival :/ You get stamped in for 30 days on what's called a visa exempt entry. You can extend that for 30 more days at the immigration office for 1900baht

Hey Tod Daniels do we need to bring any document like hotel booking, return flight or THB 20k money with us when we fly in with 30 days extemps entry?
