We have 60 day tourist visa with 30day extension which expires October 3rd .

What is the best way of extending for another 90 days ?

Do we need to leave the country and reapply or can we apply in either Phuket or Bangkok

TLDR : Answer Summary
To extend your 60-day tourist visa for an additional 90 days, you will need to leave Thailand and apply for a new visa in a neighboring country. Once you obtain the new visa, you can return to Thailand and apply for the 60-day tourist visa followed by a 30-day extension.

For another 90 days, you'll need to go to a neighboring country and apply for another tourist visa, then return and do 60+30 again.

and I think you can only do that for about 2-3 times before they will tell you this is now the last time.

The limit of two border entries in a 12 month period is for visa exempt entry, not for a visa entry

That's true but most neighbouring countries will only issue 2-3 back to back TR visas.

usually how long this wait for the new tourist visa takes?

It depends on the consulate you use. Some apply in the morning, collect in the evening. Some apply in the morning, collect in the evening 2-3 days later. Check the website of the consulate you want to use.

Some require an appointment, some do not. Every consulate is different.

No neighbouring countries are same day pick-up. Laos and Malaysia next day pick-up. Cambodia 2 day pick-up.

Phil Jones Only problem is we don’t want to return until January and our visa expires October 3rd so we would be 1 month short
