Hello, my daughter will be spending her vacation here in Thailand where I currently work and live. She has a Philippine Passport but is currently studying in Canada. My question is what is the best way for her to stay in Thailand if she plans to spend close to 4 months here?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The best option for staying in Thailand for 4 months is to plan for a 3-month tourist visa, as a tourist visa only allows a maximum stay of 3 months. To extend her stay beyond that would require her to leave Thailand and re-enter, which involves additional costs and processes.

I agree with James. Tell her to keep it to maximum three months. That way there's no complications

that initial 30 days is only if she arrives without a visa. She should obtain a tourist visa prior to arrival which will give her 60 days on entry plus one extension of 30 days

So i can extend her to a maximum of 2 times? Meaning first entry is 30 days + 30 days extension + 30 days extension? I thought you can only extend once?

Reality is that a tourist visa will allow her to stay total of 3 months...not 4.

Suggest she plan on visiting for 3 months.

To stay longer is not possible without having to leave and reenter Thailand which involves added costs and having to go thru the Thailand Pass entry process.

Is she fully vaccinated?
