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 user has a 60 days visa-free entry stamp valid until February 20, 2025, but left Thailand after 2 weeks. They are inquiring if they need to apply for a visa extension from their home country or if they can travel back in March and receive another 60-day visa-free entry. An answer in the comments confirms that the initial entry stamp is no longer valid upon leaving, and they should receive a new 60-day stamp upon re-entering. Applying for an extension from outside Thailand is not possible.

Your entry stamp is no longer valid since you left Thailand.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