Hi I am looking at all tourist visa options. Normally stay in Thailand under 60 days so visa excempt is ok. My next trip will include Thailand and travel by air to other SE Countries.  My first Thailand stop will be approx 85 days, then travel via air out and then plan to return to Thailand for 60 days before flying back to UK.

Am I correct in reading that even on a tourist single entry visa you can only stay for 60 days each time and then need to extend?

Also same applies for 6mth multiple entry?

Thank you in advance for any guidance.

Answer summary

The user is inquiring about options for extending their stay in Thailand beyond 60 days, particularly in the context of traveling to Southeast Asian countries. They need clarification on the rules regarding single and multiple entry tourist visas, specifically regarding the duration of stay and extension options.

and keep in mind that the airline can ask you for a proof of onward travel out of Thailand within the first 60 days you will get stamped in. You need to discuss this with your air carrier

Maybe for 1st 85 day trip get 60 day tourist visa in.your country and extend at immigration for 30 days I think 1900 baht then return visit just get 60 day visa exempt stamp in. That way 1 proper tourist, (1st) which immigration are good with then visa exemp which they happy with if you don't do too often.

Entry stamp on Single or Multiple Entry Tourist Visa is always 60 days with possibility of one 30-day extension per each entry of 60 days. No difference on the maximum length of per stay.
