Good day!
I am coming to Thailand for 4 months this time round.
I have applied for a 60 day TR visa, (I’m in Austria) and am awaiting the results. Hopefully it will be positive.
We are leaving the country after 59 days to Australia for 2 weeks and then returning to Thailand for another 60 days.
Am I right in thinking, for the second 60 days, I can either get an extension after arriving on the 30 day exemption or take a flight out of the country and return again on a 30 day exemption?
I think the next year we will apply for the Multi entry visa, however the consulate advised we wouldn’t have enough time for it to come through this time round. Unfortunately I didn’t know about this visa earlier otherwise I would’ve applied for it.
Have a good day and thanks for any advice in advance! ✌️
