Hi guys.
Just after some advice.
Am in Thailand (am Australian) on a 60 day tourist Visa.
My plan was to study here and then teach English and do a Visa/borer trip to re-enter on a work Visa. However, I rejected my teaching placement and so now, I won't be needing, or able to get, a work Visa.
My current Visa expires in 2 weeks and I need to be here for at least another 2 months (on a pretty tight budget!).
I am in Phetchabun right now, but as of the weekend, will be based in Koh Tao (doing my Dive Master qualification).
I'm just after some advice as to the cheapest and most practical way to extend my Visa. Apparently not all Visa/border trips will give you a new 60 day tourist visa upon re-entering? So am not sure if I can just go to the Consulate and extend it for 30 days and then a subsequent 30 days?
Thank you in advance, I really do appreciate any help.
Kind regards,
Ryan
