that is a concern, so perhaps surprising that Thai immigration are stamping passports for 45 days before published there?Chris *********************

really? That's great 👍Natalia ********

btw the hand written w45 on top means extendable for another 45 days at immigration. Just out with mine and an explanation from the border officer 🙂Nick *******
@Natalia *******
What!? So can get a 45 day extension on top and not the 30 we’ve been told or have I misunderstood?Natalia ********
@Nick ******
it depends on the top hand written thingy on the stamp: w30 - extension 30 days, w45 - extension 45 days, ww with signature - non extendable, leave the country within your expiry date. Been talking with several immigration officers lately :)))Nick *******
@Natalia *******
would have thought there would be standard 30 or 45 extension. Ah well this is Thailand 😋Billy *******
@Natalia *******
great clarification thanks.Reply to

Will my 30-day visa exemption turn into a 45-day stay if I'm already in Thailand before October 1st?
