Good afternoon all, My family and I have just joined my husband in Phuket. My husband is working and has his work permit/visa and I was going to get a non O ( I think) visa as i'm not working.
The plans have now changed and I will hopefully be working soon so will be applying for my own work permit/visa. My tourist visa expires next week and I want to get a 30 day extension rather than doing a trip to KL and then another a few weeks later.
I was told Phuket no longer give 30 day extensions, only 1 week... Does anyone know if this is true? Can I travel elsewhere in Thailand to get the extension? or will I have to leave the country? Thanks in advance!!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The author is seeking advice on extending their tourist visa while in Phuket, wondering if they can obtain a 30-day extension since they've heard conflicting information about only being able to extend for 7 days. They are currently on a tourist visa that expires soon and need guidance on whether they can stay longer or must leave the country for a visa renewal.
