Hi all, i am here in thailand on 60 day tourist visa obtained from thai embassy before arriving. I know i can apply for 30 extension while i am here. My question is this, 'can i then leave thailand, go back to Australia and re - enter Thailand again for another 60 days on the same paperwork or do i need to apply to the Thai embassy again in Australia for another 60 day visa?'

Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user inquired whether they could leave Thailand and re-enter with the same 60-day tourist visa after extending their stay. Comments clarified that if the visa was a single entry, it could not be reused once the holder exits Thailand; they would need to apply for a new visa. If the visa was a multiple entry, re-entry would be permitted within its validity period.

Wait, I didn't know we could get a 60-day tourist visa for Thailand! That's not on arrival right? That has to be applied online????

, it has to be applied at the Thai embassy/consulate in the country where you are staying. It depends on them if you can do online or you have to go there to apply in person. Check the website of them first, please.

you can do a simple land BORDER BOUNCE to get a NEW 30 day STAMP .

AND that can be extended One time for 30 days more at your local Thai Immigration office for 1900 Thai baht.

Suggest you ask an experienced border run service company in your area if they are take you to the Thai border and back on the same day .

Unless you have a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa that is valid for 6b months, no, you cannot use that visa anymore. You need to apply for another Single Entry Tourist Visa if you want to enter Thailand for 60 days again.

Check your visa sticker if it says single or multiple entry, or stamped as "used".

you'd have to LOOK on that visa and see if it was a single or multiple entry one

A single entry tourist visa is valid for 3 months from the date it is issued and you can use it ONE time to get in on a 60 day stamp

A multi-entry tourist visa is valid for 6 months from the date it is issued and you can use it as many times as you want to enter thailand during the 6 months it's valid for

SO to answer your question IF you had a single entry tourist visa, entered and got the 60 days you're done.

You can get the 30 day extension at the immigration office

but

then you'd have to exit the country and either come back in without any visa (on a free 30 day entry stamp)

OR

go to a thai consulate and BUY a new tourist visa
