What is the cost of extending a 30-day tourist visa in Chiang Mai compared to a border run?

thank you Keith there is a Visa service across the street from the Thailand Embassy in Los Angeles, this Visa service is owned by a Thai Woman and her American husband

she knows everyone at the Thailand Embassy across the street on a first name basis as he’s been there for 15 years

i’m sure by the end of June when I ask for her help she will know all the updated requirements

another question I have Keith if you know?

When my retirement visa expires on November 27 do I have to leave the country or can I get a 30 day extension

@Keith ************

thanks for your help keith another question that I’m not sure if you know is will Travel Insurance be excepted?

it far exceeds the requirements they’re asking for inpatient and outpatient coverage ??

@Keith ************

yes I will have to show Insurance in Los Angeles at the Thailand Embassy, but as you know with Thailand the Visa rules could change quite a bit between now and the end of June when I will be going there😜

I do have Health insurance in America

but what I think is still unknown as far as I know is when you apply for a visa in America do you have to have Thailand health insurance or can you have your own countries health insurance when you go to the Thailand Embassy in America🤪??

well thank you Stephen, Ivan, Garrett

for your advice and knowledge

I am flying straight from Chang Mai nonstop to Da Nang staying eight days and flying straight back into Chang Mai

hopefully I will get a 30 day tourist visa on arrival at Chang My airport

I will then go to the immigration office here in Chang Mai and extend that for 30 more days

and then when that expires go to the border for my final 30 day tourist visa

which hopefully will give me the 90 days that I need before flying out at the end of February

I own a car here in Thailand

and also have signed a lease on my condo until the end of February

awlsI can do is put 1 foot in front of the other and keep my fingers crossed

my plan is to go to Da Nang during the month of March April and May

leaving all my heavy suitcases here in Chang Mai and then flying back to Chang Mai at the end of May for three days to get my luggage then return to America for the month of June to visit family and get my one-year retirement visa at the Thailand Embassy in Los Angeles

@Jason *******

Thank you thank you my retirement visa expires on November 27

and I’m flying to Vietnam for eight days

returning December 5

my flight leaving Thailand is that the end of February so I’m trying to find a way to stay 90 days more in Thailand

I have been living here for the last five years on a retirement visa but do not want to I have my finances hijacked in order to continue my retirement visa here

I will return to America and go to the Thailand embassy in Los Angeles and get my retirement visa there

just curious what is the best options for staying another 90 days in Thailand as I am not used to doing this, I have been here for the last five years on retirement

thank you
