TLDR : Answer Summary

A user inquired about the possibility of obtaining a second 30-day extension on their visa after already receiving one earlier in the year. Comments indicate that current immigration policies, specifically from Phuket immigration authorities, restrict this and typically allow only a 7-day extension for subsequent visa-exempt entries within the same calendar year.

No - 7 days on second extension in a calendar year - why is it so hard for people to apply for a visa if they want to stay longer in thailand

Hvis du received en 30-day extension on a visa-exempt entry earlier this year, current reports indicate that you will only be granted a 7-day extension on your next visa-exempt entry within the same calendar year.
