I have a question regarding my visa.

I arrived in Thailand with a normal tourist visa of one month on the 15 of December (Sha procedure) and then I asked for an extension, valid till the 12 of February. Now my question is: can I ask a second extention? I have a French and a Italian passport.

Thank you so much for helping me!!!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquired about the possibility of obtaining a second extension on their tourist visa in Thailand after already receiving one extension. According to comments, a tourist visa typically allows for only one extension of 30 days, and while they can check for eligibility for a COVID-related extension, buying property does not influence their visa status.

And it takes a little bit of time

That's clear. And is what I will do, thank, Tod!

this is how it works,
@Conte ******
when your current stamp is getting close to running out (12 Feb) you go to your immigration office and see if you can apply for a 60 day covid extension. They either will let you do it or they won't.

Sadly, there is no "I need more time for xxx" reason to ask for an extension. 😕

I don't think buying a little apartment makes any difference to your immigration status

You arrived VISA EXEMPT ENTRY

Got 30 days on arrival

Plus added 30 days extension.

Now you want to apply for a COVID extension. Ask your local immigration office.

Even if it would be to buy a little apartment??

buying property does nothing with your tourism extension.

So, no more extention!

That's clear.

Than you very much for the answer..

I think that the only way would be to go directly to the immigration office, as they never reply on the phone.. It will be a hard fight as they are rather rudes!!

@Conte ******
they have extended the Covid extension until March - check and see if you’re eligible for that.

@Conte ******
you can't get a 2nd 30 day extension

No, the Tourist visa allows once an Extension of Stay based on tourism for 30 days.

You might try unable to travel but it seems that is only 10 days at the time.

OK your dates make no sense, a tourist visa is a 60 day entry, I am guessing you entered on a visa exempt and have extended once?
