After the 60 days visa exemption can I get a 30 days visa for extended stay total 90 days? Can I then go to Malaysia and back to Thailand and get a new 60 days visa exemption and a new 30 days visa for extended to new total of 90 days stay?

TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, after the 60-day visa exemption, you can obtain a 30-day extension for a total of 90 days. Additionally, you can travel to Malaysia and return to Thailand to receive another 60-day visa exemption followed by a 30-day extension, again totaling 90 days. However, this can only be done a limited number of times before immigration may question your intent to remain in Thailand without a long-term visa.

Yes

Yes, and yes.

But you can't do that forever. You will be fine doing it once, maybe even twice. But eventually they are going to stop you and ask you what you think you are doing trying to live in Thailand without a long-term visa, and will eventually deny you entry.

If you are just doing 90+90 then going home, shouldn't be any issues.

thanks.

I intend to get 60 days, leave and return for another 60 days then drop Baht 1,900 for a 30 day extention. Does that seem reasonable?

The only issues will be the return ticket which covers 150 days. Is that a problem?

ask your airline if it's a problem

the answer given is the correct answer. The airline would deny you boarding if they think Thai immigration will deny you entry

you didn't make a post. You tried to hijack someone else's post
