Hi all, I am a US National, I arrived in Bangkok on Sep 22nd (from Spain) and they gave me the 30-day visa stamp on my passport upon arrival. I extended my visa at the immigration office in Ko Tao where they gave me another stamp for an extra 30 days, which gives me until Nov 20th. I am now in Koh Phangan and would like to extend my visa and stay longer so I can go up north and stay in Chiang Mai for a bit (ideally until the end of Feb if I can swing it with the visa). 

What are my options for extending the visa and what am I looking at cost-wise? 

Thank you in advance 🙏

Answer summary

A US national currently in Thailand with a 60-day visa (30 days originally + 30-day extension) is seeking options to extend the visa further to stay until the end of February. One suggestion is to perform a border run, which involves leaving and reentering Thailand to obtain a new 45-day stamp and then applying for an additional 30-day extension at an immigration office for a fee of 1900 Thai baht. It's recommended to use a professional service for the border crossing.

You will need to leave and reenter Thailand...a BORDER BOUNCE.

Will give you New 45 day stamp plus one 30 day extension of stay at Thai immigration office for 1900 Thai baht.

The BORDER BOUNCE can be done 2 times EACH calendar year.

Suggest you use an experienced border run service company to take you to the Border crossing And back to where you are....

Good Luck 🤞
