ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The post discusses confusion regarding a 60-day tourist visa in Thailand and its comparison to the Special Tourist Visa (STV). It mentions that the 60-day visa can be extended for an additional 30 days, potentially requiring proof of 500,000 baht in a bank account if extended. There are suggestions that for some visitors, the STV may be a better option due to its longer duration and lower banking requirements, with varying opinions on the necessity of bank deposits for the STV. The conversation reflects a mix of experiences and viewpoints regarding current visa rules and processes.
