Hi all, I arrived back in Thailand on the 19 Sept and wish to get a visa extension until the 15 Nov . I was recently here for 3 days as a lay over on a trip to Italy. 13 - 16 Aug. Before that I was in Thailand from 7 Jan to 28 April on a TR-60 extension. I am married to a Thai lady and we have a son both who live in Thailand. I have just read an article that said you are only allowed another visa extension if it is the second time in thailand in one calender year. Does my stopover count ? Have you any ideas? Appreciate your help again. Originally the stopover was 6 hours but they changed the flight six times so could only book an extended stopover.

Answer summary

The poster returned to Thailand on a free entry and is looking to extend their stay until November 15. They have previously stayed in Thailand with a TR-60 extension and are married to a Thai citizen. They seek clarification on whether their recent stopover affects their eligibility for a visa extension. Responses suggest that the stopover does not count against the number of entries allowed within a calendar year, and they can extend their current visa and apply for a family extension based on their marriage.

another thing. You can book an appointment if you wish. If you arrived on a visa exempt, you go to the IT Square complex 3rd floor (Laksi) take a left once off of the elevator. I would suggest you have everything photocopied before you arrive. That area is pretty busy.

I think you have your wires crossed a bit 🙂

You came on a free 30 day entry stamp correct? (you're stamped in until Oct 18th?)

If so you can extend that ONE time for 30 days at the immigration office for 1900baht

AND

if you need to after that you could get ONE 60 day visit thai family extension (based on marriage to a thai and/or raising thai children) for 1900baht

That more than gives you the time you need

The article you read is talking about ENTERING thailand by land without ANY visa in your passport and getting in on a free stamp, you can do that TWO times in a calendar year
