Hi everyone. I have a multi entry tourist visa of 6 months. I have to leave the country every 60 days max but can come in and come out of the country as much as I'd like. My question is : can I actually not go out of the country every 60 days and get an extension at an(y) immigration office ? If so can I do it just once ?

Have planned to go to Cambodia and Singapour but later than the first deadline would be more convenient. Thx so much

TLDR : Answer Summary
The individual holds a multi-entry tourist visa valid for 6 months and must leave Thailand every 60 days. They inquire whether it's possible to apply for an extension at an immigration office without leaving the country within that timeframe. A response indicates that they can apply for a 30-day tourism extension once per entry at most immigration offices where their TM30 is submitted, noting that requirements may vary by office.

You can apply for 30 days tourism extension ONCE per entry at most immigration offices where your TM30 is submitted.

Attached is the list of common requirements for tourism extension, but could vary at each office.

, you can apply for a 30 days tourism extension per entry on METV at the most immigration offices. That means you can stay up to 90 days (longer than 60 days) total for one entry on METV.

does it mean that it’s 60 days + 30 days ? And if yes, does it mean that after 90 days it’s compulsory to go out ? Thanks

@Stefania *******
right, and don't forget that arrival date is the day 1. Means, you need to count 60 days as '59 nights 60 days' for your entry stamp always.

Yes, 60+30 then exit unless you can extend further due to you have Thai family (spouse or child)
