Hey all, I'm here on the STV and my first 3 months coming to an end this Monday, 5th of September. I'll be heading to Pattaya to extend on that date. I realise they mentioned ending the STV at the end of September 2022.
Am I still good to extended the next 3 months? (And the following 3 months - being a total of nine months in the end)
Thanks
TLDR : Answer Summary
The original poster (OP) is currently on a Special Tourist Visa (STV) with its first 3-month period ending soon. They are unsure if they can extend their visa for another 3 months given the program's impending termination at the end of September 2022. Commenters indicate mixed experiences with extensions, noting that while some have successfully received extensions, others faced limitations based on specific immigration office policies. It appears that a last extension may depend on the individual office handling the application. The OP also inquires about options after the STV expires, confirming that a border run to obtain a new visa is necessary as conversions within Thailand are not permitted.
