Morning all
Visa question. Next year me and my partner are planning 2 longer stays, and want to know if it’s doable.
Stay 1. 10 weeks. 2nd May to 11th July. 70 days.
Stay 2. 12 weeks. 1st Nov to 24th Jan 2027. 84 days.
Visa wise, am I right thinking the first trip will be 60 day tourist, then our 1st extension for 30 days (will only need 10 of them)
2nd trip, our 2nd 60 day tourist visa will expire 31st Dec 26, and we plan to be here for another 4 weeks, that technically falls into 2027.
Is this doable? Any advice greatly appreciated.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is inquiring about the feasibility of two long stays in Thailand, specifically a 10-week trip from May to July and a 12-week trip from November to January 2027, while navigating tourist visa rules and extensions. Comments suggest that both trips are feasible under certain visa configurations, particularly stressing the importance of using tourist visas over visa exemptions to manage extensions more safely, as restrictions vary depending on the year and total days spent in the country.
