Hello friends..Have a 3 month visitors from Canada. After 3 months can i get 15 days more without doing a border run? ....
Answer summary
A visitor from Canada inquired about extending their stay in Thailand for 15 days after their 3-month visit without leaving the country. It was clarified in the comments that they likely hold a tourist visa, which allows a 60-day stay, extendable for an additional 30 days at the immigration office, totaling 90 days. However, further extensions are not possible without exiting Thailand, and the only scenario where a longer stay could be possible is if they have Thai family.

you can only get one extension then you're done. The only way to get more time is to exit Thailand, enter another country then return to Thailand

no as a tourist you can not stay longer than 90 days, at which point you must leave the country.

You can get 7-60 days depending your visa and needs what I have seen and read.

That is highly unlikely. See John’s response. That is the more likely scenario. If you had received a 3 month O Visa, it’s likely you would be aware of it

I suspect what you have is a tourist visa. That visa is valid for use within 90 days of being issued. When you arrive in Thailand you will be stamped in for 60 days and can extend that for a further 30 days ONCE at the Thai immigration office serving the area where you will be living

As there is no visa called a visitor visa, what visa do you have? Difficult to answer your question without knowing the details.

But there's no such thing as a 15 day extension.

You’re able to apply for a 30 day extension. 1900 baht for the extension.

If it's a 90 days Non Imm visa there's NO 30 day extention

no visa qualifies for a 30 day tourist extension after being in Thailand for 3 months

after I re-read the post, I’m assuming now he has a single entry non-o. That’s the only visa where he’d have 90 days, without an extension.

He needs to be a bit more clear as to what visa he arrived on.
