ORIGINAL POSTER
I read the pinned announcement on this page, but I'm still confused about something.

What is the difference between the free tourist exemption stamp and the Visa On Arrival?

I arrived here from Canada without a visa.

I've already gotten one 30 day regular extension.

And I just extended with a 60 day Covid extension.

Am I eligible for another 60 extension before the March 25 deadline?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking clarification on the distinction between the free tourist exemption stamp and the Visa On Arrival options after arriving from Canada without a visa. They mention having obtained a 30-day extension and a subsequent 60-day COVID extension and are inquiring if they can apply for another 60-day extension before the March 25 deadline. Responses emphasize that they entered Thailand under the visa exemption category, not with a Visa On Arrival, and caution that obtaining additional extensions is not guaranteed and should be supported with a valid reason.

You entered as Visa Exempt...not as Visa On Arrival....Ask your Thai Immigration office..you already have just received one COVID extension...

Be prepared to leave when you ask for another one. ITS NOT GUARANTEED that you will get another one. When asked....Have a good reason why you need to stay.

As we get reports of actions taken by Thai Immigration offices we will report.

Good Luck. Commenting closed.
