to confirm and clarify...since I could not make a visa in Thai embassy this time...
Entering Thailand at Don Muang airport, I'm elligible to receive an exemption 30-day tourist visa (Israel passport). I understand I can get an extension of 30 days for 1900 Baht at Immigration offices anywhere.
1. Can the extension be gotten at the airport when I arrive or does it need to be close to the end of the 30 day period?
2. After the 30-day extension, if I leave and enter by land (Myanmar or Laos) and return by land, do I get 30 days on entry again ? Or 15 days? Is it dependent on my nationality?
3. Is a land border entry also extendable for 30 days?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user seeks clarification on extending a 30-day tourist visa upon entering Thailand under the Visa Exemption rule for Israeli passport holders. Key points include: 1. Extensions must be done at local immigration offices, not at the airport, and can be requested 30-45 days before the end of the initial stay. 2. If the user leaves Thailand and then re-enters by land, they can receive another 30-day visa stamp, depending on their nationality and the twice-a-year limit for entries without a visa. 3. Land border entries are also eligible for a 30-day extension.
