Hi everyone;
American passport holder.
I am currently on a work permit / visa. That is up on Friday. I am leaving Thailand and staying in Malaysia for a few days. Can I come back on a 30 day exemption and THEN extend 30 days (when the first 30 are up). Or must I get an actual tourist visa in order to extend? Tia
TLDR : Answer Summary
An American passport holder is inquiring whether they can return to Thailand on a 30-day visa exemption after their work permit expires and if they can subsequently extend their stay by another 30 days, or if they need to obtain a tourist visa instead.
