Dear ladies and gents, I'm entering Thailand on a visa on arrival (Philippine passport) next week but i want to actually stay for about 6 months and I have no time to apply for visa in embassy here in Ph since I also just came back from VN. Can I extend the TV for 3 months in Chiang Mai? Thank u so much in advance.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A Philippine passport holder can enter Thailand on a visa-exempt basis for 30 days, which can be extended once for an additional 30 days at local immigration. However, to stay for 6 months, they need to leave the country after the initial extension and apply for a tourist visa at a Thai consulate in a neighboring country, such as Laos.
