How can I extend my stay in Thailand beyond the initial 30 days without risking rejection?

Renew your tourist visa for a further 30 days.

Just get a visa for the 45 days in your home country before you leave.

What is tm 30?

You can come 30 days exempt

In case from USA

And get 30 day extension for 1900

A week before your original 30 days is over

Make sure your tm 30 is updated prior or they will fine you for that

Lol

Get a tourist visa for 60 days

Just get the 60 day tourist visa online before you go, it’s £30 and if you have a little computer knowledge it’s very easy to apply, take around 5 days to comeback via email.

What is your location? I applied at the London embassy for a 60 day single entry and got it in 2 days it looks daunting to start with, but you can upload everything via a Jpeg , you can also go to an immigration office in Thailand but that'll use up a day and also airlines sometimes ask to see a visa if you are staying over 30 days and can refuse boarding, my advice is do it before you depart. Photo of passport page, photo of yourself passport style, receipt for 1st night stay, screenshot of airline ticket is all you need

Or cross a border for a couple of days and restart 30 days.

Book your return ticket for 45 days do visa exempt 30 day stay upon arrival than get 30 day extension at thia immigration 1900baht simple

Get a visa and there are no problems.

Apply for the 60 day visa

If you're comming in exempt you'll have spent the airfare to arrive. Get an evisa online as it's straight forward and you have prior approval for entry. Flight information and your accomodations for your first night are required information on your entry permit regardless of how you enter. An onward ticket showing when you're leaving is required, but sometimes not enforced

If your booking a return flight

To return 45 days later ?

Better you apply for a visa before your holiday

Tuff rules are rules, go down the proper channels to see what your options are.

when can you get a retirement visa?

When going to Thailand for 31 - 60 ( 90 )days, the 60 days touristvisa is the best option.

It is cheaper than visaexcempt + 30 days extension.

No need of a onward ticket ( 90 days 1 onward ), if returnticket within 60 days.

It is easier to apply from the comfort of your home.

Not wasting holiday time to find, go to and waiting at a immigration office ( 90 you would need that ).

Then no need to leave Thailand in up to 90 days.

Hi

@Dave ********

what country you in?

You can apply before you leave your country

I'd check with the airline beforehand. Wouldn't boarding with a ticket for return after 45 days when you have only a 30 day visa free stay be a problem ?

Apply to Thai embassy in your own country and get 60 tourist visa before leaving your own country

This should help you.

who are very helpful & knowledgeable.

If evisa is available, get an evisa from Thai Embassy from your home country. Evisa good for 60 days. Don't have to worry about spending vacation time at immigration office.

Why would you be refused...any Immig office, 1900 baht !

You will not be refused

The question is why do you think you will get refused.?

Go to an Immigration Office to apply for a 30-day extension at a cost of 1900 Baht. You will need some documents to supply your extension. You can google the Thai immigration website for this information.

You can get a 30 day extension from immigration (most nationalities)

1,900 Baht
