Do I need to apply for a 30-day extension on my tourist visa if my stamp says I can stay until September 17?

Nah you are good until 17th September then either get a 30 day extension or leave the country and return.

You've got 60 days as the law hasnt changed yet. You can then extend another 30 if you havent already.

@Sharene ****

watch your terminology! A visa-on-arrival must be bought at the airport for 2000 Baht, and allows only 15 days of stay. A visa-exempt entry (at the moment still active) gets you stamped in for a stay permit of 60 days. A single entry tourist visa gets you stamped in for a 60-days stay permit. Any single entry Thai e-visa will expire and become invalid when you enter. You then are in Thailand on a stay permit, not on a visa.

That means you have 2 months time to apply for a retirement visa 👍

It always baffle me when someone make a post... get everything wrong, and then get upset at people for being pedantic. Knowing proper wording would help you avoid making such post to begin with. You don't know what was stamped into your passport because you don't know what you were qualifying for. If you knew what you had received (the pedantic part), you would know that your visa exempt expire on September 17, of which you can extend for 30 day until mid-October. Being humble will get you a long way.

I believe you can go to immigration now and get the extension for 30 days added to your 60 days

Not sure what you mean. You got the 60 days which is correct.

Nothing has been changed yet

Good for 60 days

You can’t apply for a retirement non-o visa inside of Thailand unless you already have a Thai bank account

It’s pretty clear that the stamps say but to confirm. You’re good until sep 17

Self explanatory really

You know you have to leave Thailand to get your visa, you can’t get it on a tourist visa

Lol

Whenever you see a stamp in your passport you should trust the stamp in your passport ✌🏼

Just make sure you get your 30 day extension done before the 17th September

😁

Understandable. The rules can be confusing, but the stamp covers you. Enjoy!

It will never go back to 30 days, Thais scares like hell bc of tourism.

The additional 30 days cost 1900 baht

You got 60 days, you don't need to do anything. You are OK until the date stamped in your passport. Even if the law changes tomorrow.

BTW you can extend by another 30 days if you visit immigration giving you a total of 90 days.

You are good until 17 September around the 15th I would go to your local immo office and apply for an extension

It hasn't been published in the Royal Gazette, so the 60 day visa exempt still stands.

Why are you confused, as it specifically has an end date of 17 September?

You currently have 60 days and can apply for an additional 30

There are no laws. You got 60 days which is correct

There are no news laws. You did not arrive on a tourist visa. A visa is something you apply for and pay for. You arrived visa exempt and received a 60 day entry stamp because visa exempt is still 60 days. It says UNTIL because that's when you are allowed to stay until. If you need additional time you can apply for a single 30 day extension.
