Hello,

 Thanks for the wonderful group!. I’m planning to visit and stay in Thailand for two months. Which visa choice is better , tourist visa 60 days or visa on arrival and extension for 30 days. Thanks again!

Answer summary

For a two-month stay in Thailand, it is advisable to obtain a single-entry tourist visa from the Thai consulate in your home country, as it provides a 60-day stay with the possibility of a 30-day extension, totaling 90 days. This option is likely more economical than the visa on arrival, which only allows for a 30-day stay followed by a potential extension.

I would wager a single entry tourist visa from the thai consulate in your country before you come here is cheaper than a 30 day extension 😮

So get that come in get stamped in for 60 days if you want to take the one 30 day extension even giving you 90 days..
