Hi advice needed!
We have a covid extension which is about to expire on the 9th November does this mean
a) we need to leave the country on the 9th November and come back in on a 45 visa exemption (U.K. passports)
OR
b) apply for a tourist 30 day extension at an immigration office as this was a covid extension
I’m a bit confused it’s not a huge deal as we can fly to a neighbour country for a few days but it of course is easier if we can get the 30 day tourist extension.
Thanks everyone!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The individual is seeking clarification on their options regarding the expiration of a COVID-related visa extension in Thailand. They are uncertain whether they need to leave Thailand by the expiration date and return on a visa exemption, or if they could apply for a 30-day tourist visa extension at an immigration office. Various community responses suggest that they cannot extend their COVID extension and need to leave the country. Some advise obtaining a long-term tourist visa from a neighboring country, while others mention potential scrutiny upon re-entry due to the COVID extension stamp. It is also noted that proper documentation, such as proof of onward travel and accommodation, may be required when re-entering Thailand.
