ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi, I travelled to Thailand during Christmas 2024 and got 60 days visa free stamp validity till 20 Feb 2025. 

But I returned back to my country in 2 weeks time.

My passport has stamp of 20 Feb 2025 as last date of visa. I plan to travel again on first week of March.

Question : Do I need to apply for extension visa from my country or travel again normally and get 60 days free visa stamp again? Will there be any questions at immigration for this ? 

Please let me know. Thanks in advance.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The entry stamp you received is no longer valid since you left Thailand. When you return in March, you will receive a new 60-day visa-free stamp upon entry. Questions at immigration are unlikely, given your short stay last time, unless you have a frequent entry record. Note that extensions cannot be applied for from outside Thailand.

Your entry stamp is no longer valid since you left Thailand.

You will be stamped in for 60 days when you travel to Thailand later.

As you travelled for only two weeks last time, the chance of being questioned at the entry point would be slim (but not zero) unless you have an extensive history of travelling to Thailand.

You can not apply for an extension on any entry/extension stamp from outside Thailand, in any case.
