How many pages do I need in my UK passport for extending a visa in Thailand?

Question

Passport with limited blank pages.

Hi, i have 5 full blank pages and 5 half blank pages left in my UK passport. Wondering what is the usual amount of space used each time a visa is extended? I am looking at either the Special tourist visa or the 30 Day (45 day incl quarantine) so each time these are renewed should expect a full page paper plus stamps to be used? The guidance says need min 3 pages to apply so just trying to figure out how many renewals i could do before need to renew the passport. Thanks!

When you get your new passport, it’s worth stumping up the extra and get the large passport with the additional pages 😉

When will your passport expire?  If expires within the next 6 months the airline will not let you fly.

This is the visa exempt. You'll get a small stamp in your passport (see the exemption/ departure stamp in this post). However, the visa exempt is only valid for 30 days, starting on the day you arrive. You'll have to get an extension of stay based on being a tourist, which is a 1/2 page stamp

The STV is new, and I'm not sure HOW it's going to be stamped. The Special Tourist visa itself is a full page sticker. You *MAY BE* an "admitted to" stamp in your passport when you arrive, which is small. The stamp to the left is the arrival stamp, the stamp to the right is the departure stamp.

any VISA sticker/stamp from the consulate takes a full page, the entry stamp takes about 1/6th of a page , EVERY extension of stay takes a 1/2 page (as a rule).

Benjamin ****** · Answer

Some stamps are tiny, and take up about 1/8 of a page, and other stamps may take up to 1/2 of a page. It's unknown if the other half is usable because of how immigration stamps the passport.

This is vaguely visa related, and is a question that does come up.

My advice: Get a new passport before you come here. Should you? I don't know.
