Hello,
I would like to get the STV visa.
Is it correct to state that it is renewable 2 times, therefore the total duration of stay in Thailand can be 90 days times 3 = 270 days?
I would like to know what documents the Immigration office ask when we ask for the renewal of the STV?
When I first arrive in Thailand with my STV visa, will they ask me again the hotel reservation for 90 days and the flight back or is it just when when we apply for the visa online? I plan on cancelling the hotel reservation because I don't want to stay in the same location and the flight back as well because I plan on renewing the visa.
Thank you very much.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The STV (Special Tourist Visa) allows for a total stay of up to 270 days in Thailand, as it is renewable twice for 90 days each. To renew the STV, you must present a fully paid hotel contract with the tax ID included, a criminal history check, and a higher level of insurance. Additionally, the hotel reservation and flight details may be questioned upon arrival and need to be confirmed for each renewal, so cancelling them may not be advisable.
