Can I stay in Thailand for 90 days with a 60-day tourist visa and a 30-day extension?

Jim James Still not adding up.

As I understand it:

You have applied for a 60 day Touristvisa, but not got it approved yet, and you will not get a reply until 1-2 weeks before the departure, which is normal, since they process the visa after departure date and not when you apply ( Recommended time to apply is 2 - 4 weeks before departure ).

An 30 days extension to that tourist visa, has to be applied for at a Immigration office in Thailand, and some Immigration offices will not do that until 1-2 weeks before the tourist visa expires.

It will rarely be denied, so don’t worry about that.

On top of your 90 day flightticket, you also need a onward ticket out of Thailand within 60 days, showing you have intentions to leave Thailand within the 60 days.

Without a onward ticket within 60 days you risk to be denied boarding at check-in by the Airline.

@Jim ******

once you are in Thailand you won't be refused the extension. It might be delayed for needed paperwork, but it won't be refused once you have everything. This only becomes a problem if you stay in Airbnb rentals instead of regular hotels, as lots of them don't file the paperwork they are supposed to, as they don't pay their taxes, or have the proper license. Other than that you can apply for your extension when you have less than 30 days left on your visa entry stamp.
