Hello

I staying in Thailand with a tourist visa since November 20th. How long I can stay in the country on tourist visa? Now because of the unstable situation I don't want to go back to my home to Hungary, I'm worried about they keep me in quarantine if I fly back home or don't let me back after a visa run. The student visa takes a lot of time and I don't have crazy amount of savings eather. Any ideas?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquires about the duration of stay allowed on a tourist visa in Thailand amid concerns about returning home to Hungary due to COVID-19. They have been in Thailand since November 20 and are unsure about their visa status. Community members suggest checking the admission stamp in their passport, considering a new tourist visa from a nearby Thai consulate, and extending their current visa entry stamp for an additional 30 days.

Okay, lets sort this out, you DIDN'T make ANY extension on your tourist visa. You bounced out and back at the Myanmar border and got a NEW 30 day visa exempt entry stamp (that is NOT a tourist visa).

You can extend that entry stamp ONCE for 30 more days at the immigration office for 1900baht and then you need to leave.

the up side is you now have 60 days (30 plus the 30 day extension you can get) to see if this covid-19 thing blows up or blows over..

First thing I'd do is to remove "China" as your place of residence on FB.

GO to a thai consulate in a nearby country and BUY a single entry tourist visa. That will let you stay 60 days more and you can extend that for 30 more days at the immigration office.
