What are the visa options and requirements for staying in Thailand for 3 to 4 months as an Australian citizen?
Hi. Can you stay on Thailand for 3 to 4 months and if so what are the visa and bank requirements please.
Coming from Australia.
Coming from Australia.
Answer summary
Travelers from Australia can stay in Thailand for 3 to 4 months. Upon arrival, they receive a 60-day visa exemption stamp, which can be extended for an additional 30 days at a local immigration office. To extend their stay to up to 5 months, they can do a border run to a neighboring country and re-enter Thailand for another 60-day exemption. If further extensions are desired, an additional 30-day extension can be obtained, allowing for a total stay of up to 6 months. However, for those looking to open a bank account in Thailand, a long-term visa is required, as short-term visas do not qualify.

60 day visa exemption stamp on arrival, 30 day extension for ฿1,900 THB at your local Soromor (immigration office)…that gives you 90 days 3 months
Border Bounce to neighboring county or wherever for an additional 60 day visa exemption stamp on arrival back into Thailand…you now have 5 months in Thailand…but wait there’s more…you can also get another 30 day extension for ฿1,900 THB at your local sotomor(immigration office)
This will get you 180 days or 6 months in total
For the haters…life happens and plans change that’s why I put the additional 30 day extension in my response

@Jeremy *******
exactly!and Tania Carbonaro
you’ve asked for bank requirements?
you won’t be able to do anything with a thai bank without a long term visa
(meaning for any short stayers or on tourist visas you won’t get a bank account)

@Peggy ****
well TiT is always in effect Right now you can’t get a bank acct on a visa exemption, DTV, Ed visa
But like everything in Thailand things change super super fast…and no one can forecast the future especially when it comes to visa requirements

You can stay 4 months by simply doing a border run. Visas are for longer stays and not worth getting if you only want to stay for 3-4 months.

Completely depends on your nationality. Without that crucial bit of information we can’t help you.
