Hi, If I enter Thailand on the 45 day exemption can I extend twice for 30 days each time without leaving? Or do I need to extend once, leave, then come back in on another 45 day exemption? I'm on a NZ passport.
Thanks!
TLDR : Answer Summary
A visa exemption for Thailand can only be extended once for an additional 30 days. After this extension, to gain further time in Thailand, you would need to leave the country and re-enter, which would grant you another 45-day exemption. However, there is currently some discussion about potentially extending the 45-day exemption rules, but no official announcements have been made.
