Should I put 30 or 45 days on my visa form if I plan to extend my stay in Thailand?
Hi, I’m coming to Thailand for more than 30 days and intending to get an extension while I’m here , on the Visa form shall I put the 30 days or put the 45 days I intend to stay even though I haven’t got approval to extend yet. Thanks for any help.
Answer summary
The user is inquiring whether to list 30 days or 45 days on their Thai visa form, as they intend to extend their stay beyond the initial period. Comments suggest that they should list the initial period (30 days) due to the uncertainty of obtaining an extension. Responses also mention the importance of knowing the user's nationality, as many nationalities receive visa exemptions for longer durations.

Assuming your passport allows (American, British, Australia etc) A tourist visa is good for 2 months right off the bat. You can also arrive without a visa at all and get 60 days exempt currently (this will probably go back to 30 days exemption sometime this year, so keep an eye on that).

On the TDAC put the actual date you are arriving and the actual date you are leaving.
Not sure what country you are from but you probably have a 60 day visa exemption.

What passport do you have ? Many are visa exempt for 90 days.
In any case, put in the first period, because an extension is not guaranteed.

most country are visa exempt for 60 days currently, suggestions are that this may reduce to 30 days at some point in the future. The 60 days can be extended for another 30 days at a local immigration officeLeong ***********
