I am still deciding if my husband and I are going to go for a TR or STV Visa. We are coming from the US and are curious if anyone knows once the STV visa is finished do we have any options to do another visa or what do we do go back out quarantine again if that's still in place and come back in on some other visa? Any help is appreciated Thank you!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion centers on the visa options available for US expats considering the STV (Special Tourist Visa) and TR (Tourist Visa) in Thailand. It outlines that the STV can only be extended twice for a maximum of 270 days and cannot be converted to another visa; upon expiration, holders must exit Thailand. In contrast, the TR visa allows an initial stay of 60 days, extendable for another 30 days, and can be converted to another visa without leaving the country. Alternatives like the OA Retirement Visa for those over 50 and a tourist visa exemption are also suggested for longer stays.
