Hello everyone, I just need to verify something to make sure that I understand well. I applied for a 60-day visa from my home country. Unfortunately it was not processed in the delay that I was expecting, so I finally entered Thailand on a 30-day visa on arrival. The embassy says my request for 60-day visa should be processed in the next few days.
My (revised) plan would be to extend my current visa for another 30 days, then exit Thailand and re-enter with my 60-day visa... Does it seem doable? Even if the dates that I submitted in me initial request obviously will be changed? Your opinion please! TIA
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user inquired about the possibility of extending their current 30-day visa on arrival in Thailand for an additional 30 days and then exiting the country to re-enter with a 60-day visa they applied for. Multiple responses confirmed that the plan is feasible, but one commenter highlighted potential issues with the processing of the 60-day visa application, especially if it is from the Ottawa embassy due to reported processing delays and possible rejection if the original flight dates have passed.
