What are my options for extending my stay in Thailand while studying online and training in martial arts?
Hello I'm thinking of staying in thailand while I complete my online schooling. First I was wondering is it still easy to get a 60 day extension to the 30 day entry? I've thought of doing 90 days thailand and then 90 days vietnam and going back and forth. But I can't tell how easy it would be to train martial arts and get a year visa. Can you go on a 30 day visa waver extend it 60 days and set up a gym and apartment while you are there or does this all need to be done before coming?
Answer summary
The user is inquiring about their options for staying in Thailand while completing online studies, especially regarding the extension of a 30-day visa exemption, visa types suitable for martial arts training, and the logistics of setting up a gym and apartment. Community comments suggest the DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) as a potential option, conditional upon qualifying study areas, and clarify that a 60-day extension cannot be obtained from a 30-day visa exemption, but a 30-day extension is available from a 60-day visa.

No such thing as a 60 day extension for a 30 day visa exempt. But... you can get a 30 day extension for a 60 day visa exempt or a 60 day tourist visa.

Have you looked at the DTV visa ?
DTV is Destination Thailand Visa and you may qualify depending if you are studying in one of the approved study areas that qualify for a DTV.
Other than that if you don't qualify then perhaps a 6 months multiple entry tourist visa would suit you which can be stretched out to 9 months depending on your exits and entries..
If you are planning on being in Thailand on a long term basis then either of those are safer options than trying to rely on Tourist exemption entries..
Both the DTV and 6 month multiple entry tourist visa need to be arranged outside of Thailand before you travel.
