Hallo. Is it possible to get 2 30 day visa extensions? I am waiting for one more paper to apply for my Non B visa. But my tourist visa extension is coming to an end. So if it is possible i want to get another extension for 30 days? Then i have enough time to apply for my Non B.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The question asks whether it's possible to obtain two consecutive 30-day visa extensions in Thailand while awaiting documentation for a Non-B visa. The responses from the community indicate that it is not possible to receive a second 30-day extension; participants report that only a 7-day extension may be granted in lieu of obtaining a new visa. Additionally, border-running is mentioned as a potential alternative to gain additional stay time.

They would only give me a 7 day extension after I renewed the first 30 day :/

once you get a 30 day extension on an entry you can ONLY get a 7 day one after that :/

Yes big no I actually asked immigration in Samui in person.

As I'm in this same situation with non b

Hence getting a tourist visa in Hanoi now

you'd need to border-bounce to get a 30 day visa exempt stamp

Jaco Calitz, they changed the rules now and people get 30 days when entering by a land border again. However you can only get TWO 30 day visa exempt entries by a land border in a calendar year

Last time i did a border bounce to Laos i had to fly back to get a 30 day extension. They said if i go back across the land border i only get 15

that would be a NO. :/ The only other extension you can get would be the "extension denied" 7 days to get outta thailand for 1900baht
