What is the process for extending a multiple-entry visa in Thailand after the first 180 days?

Question

Hi everyone,
‘Visa Extension

A one-time extension of up to 180 days is available. After 180 plus 180 days, you must leave and re-enter Thailand to continue your legal stay’

Considering the visa is multiple entry, does this mean:-

A - a one time extension come at the END of the 5 year visa,

Or

B - A 180 day extension is possible at the end of the first 180 period if needed medically.

I’m going B but just want to be sure.

Thanks everyone 😊🙏🏻

The discussion clarifies that individuals holding a multiple-entry visa in Thailand can extend their stay for an additional 180 days at the end of their initial 180-day entry period. After using this one-time extension, they are required to leave Thailand and re-enter to start a new 180-day period. The conversation also addresses some misconceptions regarding the situation, emphasizing that medical needs do not factor into the extension process.

It's 100% Free still for next 2days you don't have to register just bang your details in drag and drop all your documentation in and it will tell you with 4 minutes if everything is correct and will also give you a score out of 100 so you know if you're application smashes it or does it just scrape by the threshold. very easy very straightforward.

Did anyone get a Thai tax (TIN) number successfully with a DTV + 183+ days stay / year? I've heard very controversial info on this. I'd need this to revoke tax residency in my home country, as the tax office asks for country and proof, where the taxes will be paid. Thanks in advance for all smart replies

Your stay is for 180 days per entry.

Near the end of the 180 days you either

1) apply at Immigration for an extension (generally not recommended as they literally don’t want to do it)

Or

2) Leave the country and come back and get stamped in for another 180 days.

It’s pretty simple really 🤷‍♂️
