ORIGINAL POSTER
Hi all, I'm here from Australia on a multiple entry visa which means i can stay for six months but have to leave every 2 months. As my plan is to stay for a total of 5 months, does anyone know if at 4 months I can go to an immigration office and request a 1 month extension rather than do a border run?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The original poster is currently in Thailand on a multiple entry visa, which allows them to stay for six months with the requirement to leave every two months. They are inquiring about the possibility of extending their stay by one month at an immigration office instead of making a border run after 4 months. However, responses from the community clarify that this is not possible; the poster will need to leave Thailand and re-enter after 60 days to continue their stay and may have to perform a border run.

I’m here now on a

6 month Multi entry EVisa

After 60 days - go to the nearest immigration & fill in what is needed pay 1900 Baht

After 90 days , yes you need to leave Thailand & return

I did a border run from

Hua Hin - Ranong - Myanmar all done in one day - cost is 5300 baht and is about a 12 hour day

No you cannot, exit after 60 days and re-enter then do your second 60 plus a 30 day extension for your 5 months

I think she is asking 60, border hop, 60 + 30 extension, so yes, she can.She is aware she has to leave at least once at the 60 day mark.

You are stamped in each time for 60 days which can be extended by 30. To stay 4 months you will have to do 1 border run.

Guessing you are on a multi-entry tourist visa? If so, then each entry can be extended by 30 days.
