Hi everyone,

Arriving December 8th and departing March 3rd 

If I apply for SETV am I likely to be denied as it’s over the 60 days, my plan was to get a 30 day extension when in Thailand,

any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Answer summary

A user inquired about applying for a Single Entry Tourist Visa (SETV) to stay in Thailand from December 8th to March 3rd, exceeding the standard 60-day allowance. Comments offered reassurance, noting that similar applications were approved, and suggested alternatives like the 90-day Non-O retirement visa for those over 50. Advice included ensuring onward travel tickets to avoid issues with airlines.

All depends on your airline and what they say. So I recommend get an onward ticket in case airline will give you hassle

An alternative when you're over 50 could be 90 day non-o retirement, it is a bit cheaper than SETV plus 1900 THB extension, and checking in at airline might be easier, and you don't need to spoil your time at an Immigration office.
