I am traveling To Thailand November 1st for 90 days, 60 day tourist visa and extend another 30 days when in Thailand. I am confused about the dates on my 60 day tourist visa. The valid from date is when my visa was approved, not sure about the valid until date. Is this the date I have to enter Thailand, or the date I have to leave Thailand?
Answer summary
The valid from date on your 60-day tourist visa indicates when the visa was approved, while the valid until date is when you must enter Thailand. You must enter the country before the valid until date, and then you can stay for 60 days from your entry date, plus potentially an additional 30 days if you apply for an extension while in Thailand.

Mate, fresh of second extension,. First extension is 30 days, second extension (on your new visa) is always 7 days (in same calendar year)

You get another exemption? 7 days .

Tourist visa single entry 60 days is always+30 days extension

Ci Rob while you are right, it actually the fact that if you ask for a second 30 day extention, it get denied, but you are given 7 days extension to give you time to leve the country without any overstay

What are the requirements to extend at immigration for extra 30 days?

Vito Ef different immigration offices have different requirements .ie... krabi will only do the extension within the last 15 days of the visa exempt.... chiang mai will do it within your last 45 days!!!! (At least this was the case last year).

Krabi is very easy and they'll complete all your paperwork, chiang mai (for me at least) was harder work...so I guess it depends on where your immigration office is

Joel Ward excellent advice. This could be applied to dozens of Facebook groups I’m in. Why people join shared information groups only to tell other members to “Google it”, etc., is beyond me.
