What is the best visa process for a 90-day stay in Thailand?
Hello all, can somebody please advise on the Visa process. I will be in Thailand for just under 90 days with my friends. Am I best off applying for the 60 day SETV and then potentially getting a 30 day extension when there. Or, am I best to arrive in Thailand with the 30 day Visa exemption, extend by another 30 days whilst there and then cross the border and back to get another 30 day visa extension? Sorry for the lengthy question, am just trying to get my head round it. Also, I travel in 6 weeks if that makes a difference. Thank-you
Answer summary
The user is seeking advice on the best visa process for a 90-day stay in Thailand. They are considering applying for a 60-day Single Entry Tourist Visa (SETV) with a possible 30-day extension, or arriving on a 30-day visa exemption and then crossing the border to extend for another 30 days. Comments suggest that obtaining the SETV before traveling is preferable, as it simplifies the entry process and may be more cost-effective compared to extensions.

You may better to get SETV... avoiding hustle upon your airline check-in, and extra unnecessary entry stamp and travel cost of your border-bounce. SETV application fee itself is cheaper than extension application fee anyway.

you talk about the airline check in.... but if he has a return ticket of 90 day later, and only has the SETV of 60 days.... he still need to be lucky that the check in person know about the possibility of 1900b extension?
