Hey everyone! 

I’d like to know if you can apply for another Tourist visa (60days) straight after you are on a 60days tourist visa + 30days extension (different embassy tho)? Am I allowed to have this kind of visa twice a year? 

Thanks in advance 🙏🏻

TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, you can apply for another Tourist visa after your current 60-day Tourist visa and subsequent 30-day extension, and it may be possible to do this twice a year. However, the final decision rests with the immigration officer, who may interpret frequent applications as potential abuse of the visa system. It's advisable to have a valid reason for your extended stays in Thailand and to consult the specific requirements at the embassy where you are applying.

Good luck to your friend. Look at the listed requirements for a Tourist Visa on nearby Thai Consulates.

Submit the application..

Morning of first day...

Hopefully receive it afternoon of next day.

There is NO limit on the amount of Tourist Visa a person can have in 1 year.

There is NO limit of how many days a person can stay in Thailand in one year.

There is only 1 limit for 54 countries, they can only cross a land border twice a calendar year using the 30 day Visa Exempt Entry.

Immigration Officers are at the check point to check if the correct visa is applied for, the Visa Exempt Entry and the Tourist Visa are not ment to be used to live inside Thailand. How longer your history is using these options to stay inside Thailand the bigger the chance gets to get a new visa denied or a denied entry.

Please don't panic, people are still allowed to visit Thailand and a second Single Entry Tourist Visa in one year should be no problem.

i did not see any change or read reports in the last weeks that a second Tourist visa is no longer allowed.

But it seems I'm the only one missing out the most important news, please guys, show me what I missed.

As far as I understand the first remark it seems not an option.

it is worth a try, because if refused he/she can still get a 30-day visa exempt entry (land border or airport) and be able to extend it for further 30 days. Tongue in cheek - IF he/she has a long history of stays in Thailand . . then it becomes a lottery game

guess that’s the thing. He’s been in and for a while now: in 2019 for 8 months! But he’s got himself a new passport (if that helps😜)

Are you allowed this visa twice a year? Yes. You can apply for the visa as many times as you want. However it is the immigration officer decision of they believe you are not a short time tourist and if you are abusing the system.

My gut response: you probably won't be able to get another visa. However, it will be really helpful to answer James questions above.

If you are a tourist it may be possible.

Is this for you or a friend?

What is your nationality?

How many months were you in Thailand in 2019?

Where did you get your current tourist visa?
