Advice please, we are tentatively planning to visit Thailand Nov-March. We come from Canada and will do the visa exempt, can we get an extension for 30 days while we're in Thailand or do we need to get this while still in Canada? Then visit Vietnam and return to Thailand and repeat the process. Thanks in advance.
TLDR : Answer Summary
Visitors from Canada planning to stay in Thailand from November to March can initially enter under the visa exempt option, which allows a 30-day stay. They can apply for a one-time extension of 30 days at a local immigration office while in Thailand. Alternatively, they may consider applying for a tourist e-visa prior to departure, allowing for a 60-day stay with a possibility for a 30-day extension. This approach can facilitate longer stays if combined with border trips to Vietnam and returning to Thailand.
