Hi guys, my (Brit) mate is heading to Thailand in November. He wants to stay for a couple of months. I know he’ll get 45 days on arrival, but what’s the deal with extending it? Must he do a border run?
Many thanks.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A British traveler heading to Thailand in November can initially obtain 45 days on arrival under visa exemption. He can extend his stay by applying for a 30-day extension at an immigration office, totaling 75 days. For a longer stay without a border run, applying for a 60-day tourist visa (which can also be extended for an additional 30 days) is recommended, allowing for 90 days in total. Travelers should also be prepared with necessary documentation, including potential proof of onward travel.
