￼Good morning from Switzerland. ￼ I am coming with the tourist Visa for 60 days and I heard that I can extend it to 90 days. ￼ I will then spend a weekend in Kuala Lumpur. Is it possible afterwards to re-enter Thailand for another two weeks? ￼ and do I then need another Visa for two weeks or not? thank you very much for your help! 😄

TLDR : Answer Summary

A tourist visa for Thailand can be extended once for an additional 30 days, allowing for a total stay of 90 days. After visiting Kuala Lumpur, you can re-enter Thailand visa-exempt for another 30 days. Additionally, you can apply for another 30-day extension for this re-entry period, granting you a potential total stay of around 150 days.

you will be stamped in for 60 days, then on Immigration you can buy one 30-days extension for 1900.- THB. Before the 90 days are over, you need to leave Thailand. Take a holiday in Malaysia, and re-enter Thailand "visa-exempt" which means you will be stamped in for 30 days. And you can also get another 30 days extension for these 30 days visa-exempt, for another 1900.- Baht. You can get almost 150 days stay permit in Thailand out of this method.

Yes it’s possible (and easy). And you will receive another 30 days when you re-enter from KL.

You can apply one time for a 30 day extension. Don't forget the day you arrive is day 1 for when you are counting days.

If your passport is from a visa exempt country you'll receive a 30 day stamp when you return from Malaysia and you if you don't have a visa.

Thank you very much Brandon for your fast answer. So if I understand it right I don't need to apply for a Visa after I return from Malaysia for 14days for Thailand? I just get a stamp for 30days? Thank you!
