Question about visa extensions. I'm visa exempt from the US. I thought I could only get one extension for a total of 60 days before having to do a visa run. But I read a post on here where someone was doing a run to get another "90 days."
How many times can I extend for a total of how many days before having to do a run?
TLDR : Answer Summary
A US citizen can initially enter Thailand visa exempt for 30 days and can extend that stay for an additional 30 days, totaling 60 days before needing to leave. After that, one option to extend further is to execute a visa run, which involves exiting and re-entering Thailand, allowing another 30 days. Alternatively, obtaining a tourist visa prior to entry grants an initial stay of 60 days, extendable by 30 days in Thailand, totaling 90 days. While anecdotal concerns about maintaining a limit of 6 months in Thailand per year arise, there are no official rules regarding maximum total days allowed for tourists; this varies by individual circumstances and immigration officer discretion.
