Wonder if anyone here has had Covid extensions many times and successfully applied a new Thai tourist visa from neighboring countries?
I have been on Covid extensions for about a year now and am planning to go to either Malaysia or Vietnam to get a new tourist visa, then back in, get married and change to a non-o.
I am quite worried if they’d grant me a new tourist visa in such case. I have changed a new passport, though. On my new passport, there’s only my transferred entry visa, showing I entered Thailand last year, and the latest Covid extension.
Really appreciate if anyone with similar case shares your experience.
TIA!

They express concern about the possibility of being granted a new tourist visa given their situation and the presence of only a transferred entry visa and Covid extension on their new passport.

thanks James. My passport doesn’t get visa exemption for Thailand. So I will need to apply a new tourist visa. Does the Thai embassy in Vientiane quite easy with people who’s had Covid extensions many times?
I’ve read on Thai embassy in Malaysia and Vietnam’s website that they do so too. But thanks James, I will have a look on visa run services to Laos. Is there any reputable visa run company that you know of?
