@Billie-Joe *******

so good read another post or don’t take the time to read all comments

it’s your choice what you read…or don’t… like my choice what i write… or don’t…

@JD *******

tourists visa length and covid extensions are not the same thing. This is also something that’s asked EVERY TWO MONTHS for over two years. You’re question isn’t even clear, a tourist on arrival? With a visa, a visa on arrival or visa exempt? This matters because not all of the options grant said covid extension.

So your single question will actually open up an entirely new topic that’s of no benefit to the OP. So as I said, why not take 30 seconds to Google OR ask your own question? The people that aren’t lazy are bored of it.

@Rob *******

What I wrote above with the 180 days was not quite correct. sorry about this. What I meant is the tourist visa 60 days (multiple entries) and that can be extended 2 times by exit and re-entry to 180 days plus 3 times 30 days extension in Thailand directly. So a total of 270 days.

@Rob *******

I'm not exactly sure, but I think there is no limit. But what I do know is if you're constantly coming in on a tourist visa, they may check you out to see if you're not working in Thailand. What you are not allowed to do with a tourist visa.

@David *****

only before you arrive in Thailand, from your countries Thai consulate, that is if they will still sell one

@David *****

the Special Tourist Visa, which he isn't on, can be extended twice. The 'normal' tourist visa and visa exemption can be extended once for a further 30 days. Covid extensions could be possible at 60 days, if the immigration office are willing to grant them.

@David *****

he's talking about x5 12 month extensions totalling $275 and that's if you meet the requirements age, marriage, family etc. Are you over 50? Married to a Thai? Or Have Thai kids?

@David *****

All extensions of stay are 1,900 baht and the max is for one year. If you meet the requirements then you can apply each year and get an extension.

@Stuart ********

and then how long is the covid extension ? 60 days?

@Reece ******

Most offices will require you to do the “regular” 30 day extension before allowing you to apply for a Covid extension.

@Stuart ********

that’s true haha! Do you do the covid extension after the first month ? Or is it after the second month (after paying for ur first extension)

@Reece ******

possibly. The OP didn’t provide a time frame, so I have no idea when they’re coming. Covid visa extensions are available up until July 25th.
