ORIGINAL POSTER

I'm here on a 60 day tourist visa exemption (from October 15 2024) and just got a 30 day extension last week (1900 baht) at Buriram immigration. I'm staying until at least mid March so I've been told I can get another 60 day visa on January 11. Does this sound right or do I have to pop into Cambodia?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking clarification about extending their stay in Thailand while on a 60-day tourist visa exemption and if they need to leave the country to obtain a new visa stamp. Comments indicate that to get another 60-day visa exemption, the user must leave Thailand and re-enter, as they cannot obtain another visa extension while already in the country. Options include traveling to neighboring countries like Cambodia or Vietnam.

You don't need to go to Cambodia you can go to any country you like, Vietnam Laos Malaysia etc.

When you fly in, the airlines usually check your ticket as to when to leave or fly out, so when getting a 60 day exempt visa with an intent to extend it to another 30 or 60 days, would your flying out ticket be dated after the 60 day exempt and before the date of allowed extension?

You must leave the country before your visa extension expires..

The safest most reliable method is catch a flight to Cambodia and stay a couple of nights at least and fly back to get another 60 days visa exemption.

Phnom Penh is a great city to spend a few days anyway so look at it like a good opportunity to explore a little of Cambodia at the same time.

Did you do your 30 day extension on the 60th day or before?

You don't have any visa, so you can't get another one. If you want more time you must leave Thailand and return and you can get a new visa exempt stamp.
