Hello folks. I arrived in Thailand via the Phuket Sandbox. 45!day visa exempt. Stayed there for 6 weeks. While I was there I went to the Immigration office to get a visa extension. The falang officer there told me I had two options: 30 days, or 60 days. But for the 60 days ‘I would have to lie on the form about being unable to return to my home country’ (Switzerland). His words exactly. I’ve been told this is not correct.
I’ve now moved to Bangkok. The 30 day extension expires early next month.
What is the correct way to get a further 60 day extension from Bangkok immigration?
