Hi guys, i will be arriving in Thailand shortly on a tourist 30 day visa exemption and will be looking to extend my visit to a year with a visa extension. What documents should I bring to Thailand?.
TLDR : Answer Summary
To extend your 30-day tourist visa in Thailand to a longer stay, it's important to first apply for a Non-Immigrant visa, as you cannot directly extend a tourist visa exemption into a one-year visa. You usually need to apply for a 90-day Non-Immigrant visa in-country, which requires certain documents and a fee of 2000 baht. Make sure you have at least 15 days left on your tourist visa before applying. After obtaining the 90-day Non-Immigrant visa, wait for 2 months to apply for a year extension at a fee of 1900 baht, ensuring your funds in a bank account are seasoned for the required period.
