Hello everyone, I hope you’re all well. So I finally got my SETV approved from the Thai Embassy in Paris (it took 5 weeks and I used the services of an agency- Rapidevisa). I’ll arrive in Bangkok on December 17. My return flight is booked for Jan 13, however I plan on staying longer; between extensions and leaving the country once, I plan on returning home at the end of April. Two questions: 1. How soon can I request the 30 day extension on my current 60 day tourist visa? and 2. How soon can I rebook my final return flight on April 30? If need be, in the interim, I’ll book a cheap onward flight when requesting other extensions and/or visa exemptions. The thing is, I don’t want to have to rebook my final return flight more than once and, obviously, I need to change the return date before January 13. Thanks for any suggestions you can give me. You guys have been immensely helpful.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user has received their 60-day Thai SETV and is asking when they can request a 30-day extension and when they can change their return flight booked for January 13 to a later date. Responses indicate that extensions can generally be requested when 30 days or less remain on the visa at most offices, and longer at larger offices. Additionally, users mentioned that flight dates can be modified anytime after arrival in Thailand.
