Hello my husband and i are leaving montreal with air france to bongkok  then to phuket for 60 days we dont have time to get a visa for 60 days are we ok with the 30 day thing then come out and come back in for 30?

Answer summary

You and your husband can initially enter Thailand under the 30-day visa exemption policy for Canadian passport holders. You can extend your stay by applying for a 30-day extension at a local immigration office, which costs 1900 baht. Therefore, it is possible to stay for a total of 60 days without needing to leave the country, as suggested in the comments.

You won’t need to exit and come back. Your 30

Day visa exemption when you arrive (assuming Canadian passports) is extendable by another 30 days at any immigration office in Thailand for 1900 baht each. Enjoy

sure you should stay one day in front of the hospital and what happen with rage road or fights, did you already go to phiket? Did you know that this is a tourist area , and same tourist area have same problems

(There is more weed shop in phuket that there is fishing shop )

Weed and alcool = fight

Weed and alcool = accidents

Tourism area = scam

Most of people on earth want easy money ...

Think to that if you re a farang you always be scared!

not luck at all. I've never felt unsafe there. People are lovely, helpful, kind and welcoming. Never been ripped off or cheated. I guess you've been hanging out in some dodgy places.

You had time to plan a 60 day trip but not time to apply for a visa?

You need to check with your airline to see if they require proof of leaving Thailand within 30 days if you are traveling without a visa. If they require that, they won't let you board your flight unless you can show them a ticket out of Thailand within 30 days of your arrival.

Once you're in Thailand you can apply one time for a 30 day extension at your local immigration office, giving you 60 days total.

The day you arrive is counted as day 1.
