Hi guys, me and my boyfriend arrived into Thailand being visa-exempt for 30 days (from the UK) and then have extended our visa for 30 days at the immigration office. Now we would like to extend it for a further 30 days. Are we able to extend it at the visa office again for 30 days or would we need to do a border bounce? Thanks in advance!!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user and their boyfriend, who initially entered Thailand on a visa-exempt basis and extended their stay for 30 days at the immigration office, are inquiring about the possibility of extending their visa for an additional 30 days. Responses in the comments suggest that another extension may not be feasible, recommending a border bounce instead, though caution is advised due to limits on the number of border bounces per calendar year.

Border bounce but be careful. It seems as though you already did at least one border bounce this year. You’re allowed 2 a calendar year (via land border).

for those of us on 6 month multiple entry tourist visa, are we also only allowed two land border runs?

entering the country by air or land with a visa does not country at all about the entries you are allowed without any visa

You can only extend one time so you need to leave the country

No we haven’t already done a border bounce yet, just arrived as visa exempt and extended that by 30 days at immigration office

Mae Sai / Tachilek is the closest border bounce from CM.
