RENEWAL - TOURIST VISA. Dear community, thanks for all the great posts. I'd like to share fresh info on visa renewal, and I need your inputs on this, pls.
The case is, that my gf is a Nicaraguan citizen. She got a 60 days tourist visa in from the Thailand embassy in Denmark (where I'm from). We meant to stay in Thailand for a short time before moving on to Indonesia, but have decided to stay in Thailand for a year, if possible. Siam Legal's advise on the "Nicaraguan case" is to have two x 60 days visa renewal at immigration offices in Penang, Bali etc.. I forgot to ask if prior to this, she should go for a simple renewal at the Bangkok Immigration office?
To extend further, they suggest for a 5 month tourist visa at the embassy in her home country, but there is no such thing in Nicaragua, and Siam Legal has no ideas if that she can apply for the 5 month tourist visa at an alternative embassy.
However, they suggest to look into the study-Thai option, and Id love to hear your experiences on this in regard to this particular context.
I just had a quick talk with a well reputed agent, suggesting, that the visa can be renewed "several times", using different embassies/countries for this. Any inputs and recommendations on this, and above 3 questions, will be most appreciated.
Cheers
TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around renewing a tourist visa for a Nicaraguan citizen currently in Thailand. She has a 60-day tourist visa from the Thai embassy in Denmark and wishes to stay longer. Suggestions include checking for a quick renewal at Bangkok Immigration, spending time in countries like Penang or Bali to apply for new tourist visas, and possibly pursuing a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa at nearby embassies, despite complications due to Nicaragua not having a Thai embassy, as well as possible visa requirements. The community emphasizes the importance of exploring all options and having a backup plan.
