How long is a standard tourist visa for Thailand?
How many days is a standard visa for Thailand? Is it 30 days or 60 days, I’ve read a few different answers.
I’m going to Bangkok for a few days then a month stay at a Muay Thai Camp, so it’s gonna be over 30 days will need an extension? Thanks 😀

Answer summary
The length of a standard tourist visa for Thailand varies depending on your nationality. Many passport holders can enter Thailand visa-free for 30 days. However, if you apply for a tourist visa before departure, you can obtain a 60-day visa, which can be extended once in Thailand for an additional 30 days. Extensions and applications for visas can be done through Thai embassies or within Thailand.

30 day visa EXEMPT depending n your passport origin. It's not a visa but can be extended once in Thailand for a further 30 days for 1900 THB. Or you can apply for a 60 tourist visa from your home country at the Thai embassey. This can also be extended.

I don't think so. It 1900 baht and you need to take with you copies of passport, departure card, entry stamp and evidence of where you are staying. Go to immigration in the area you are staying

OPCan the extension be done in the airport? Or do you have to go to a certain place ?

Visa free entry to Thailand is 30 days, or you can purchase a 60 day tourist visa before departing your home country.

For the SETV
single entry tourists visa its
£25 in the U.K.
That visa valid for 90 days meaning that you have to use it in the 90 day's from when you pick it up.
The visa is for 60 day's.
And can be extend at any immigration office in Thailand for 30 days
