Hello,
How do I start the process for an STV (Special Tourist Visa) while being in Thailand already?
I just arrived a week ago without a visa.. (30 day visa exemption)
TLDR : Answer Summary
To start the process for an STV while already in Thailand is not possible as the STV must be obtained from your home country or country of legal residence. However, you can apply for a 30-day extension at Thai immigration, and if your home country offers e-visas, you may be able to apply online, though it would still require a visa run. Additionally, exploring options for a Covid extension might also be beneficial.
