Hi! Hope you are all doing well ✌🏽 I have a question regarding visa extensions. I’ve never done one before, so here are my questions:

1. Do you know if people from countries that get 90 days tourist visa (Peru, Brazil, etc) are elegible to apply for a 30-day visa extension?

2. I read in a recent post that we can attempt to apply for a visa extension *before* the amnesty period finishes, *if* we haven’t applied to one. Is this still a valid thought?

3. If it’s possible, is there a place where I can read all the documents I’d need to submit/ process to do this?

Thank you so much for your time!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The inquiry focuses on visa extensions for nationals from countries like Peru and Brazil, specifically regarding eligibility for a 30-day extension after entering Thailand on a 90-day tourist visa. It also questions the validity of applying for an extension before the expiration of any amnesty period and seeks clarity on documentation required for such applications. Responses indicate that individuals with a 90-day bilateral entry stamp are not eligible for extensions, and that immigration office requirements vary.

No, they are not. THey can not get an extension of stay based on being a tourist on a 90 day bilateral agreement entry stamp.

>I read in a recent post that we can attempt to apply for a visa extension *before* the amnesty period finishes, *if* we haven’t applied to one. Is this still a valid thought?

Most people do not enter on a 90 day bilateral agreement stamp, and instead enter on a tourist visa or a visa exempt stamp.

>If it’s possible, is there a place where I can read all the documents I’d need to submit/ process to do this?

Each immigration office has their own requirements, and there is no one-size-fits all. However, you do not qualify for an extension of stay based on being a tourist since you entered on a 90 day bilateral agreement.

If you used the 90 day bilateral entry stamp, than you can not apply for a 30 day Extension of Stay. You get this stamp if you did not visit a Thai Consulate before you made your way into Thailand to buy a VIsa, like the Tourist visa which gives you only 60 days on entry.
