Hello everyone ✨

Please need your help because I’m a little lost in Visa possibilites in my situation.

So my 60days Visa finished yesterday, I went to the immigration office and pay for the 30days. 

Now I can stay here until the 20th February. 

My goal is to find the best visa to stay until my Flight back home on the 24th of March.

Dont want to leave the country because I take painting lessons here and dont want to lose time ( of course unless no choices ). 

Someone can help me please and advice me for the best 🙏🏻 it will be wonderful ! 

Have a Nice day ✨✨

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking advice on options to extend their stay in Thailand after their tourist visa expired. They have used a 60-day visa and extended it for an additional 30 days, but need to stay until March 24th. Commenters suggest options such as doing a 'border bounce' to obtain a new visa exemption and caution that the user cannot apply for another extension since they have already used the one allowed. They also advise on considerations based on the user's location in Thailand.

Depends which province you are living. Go to Laos or Cambodia and stay a couple of days because your going to need to pay for a visa on arrival $40-50 to enter. If you are in the south go to Malaysia it's easy and free to enter. If you are in bkk fly to Vietnam its free. You are a tourist so will have no issues getting back into Thailand.

Vietnam isn't free for everyone, only a number of nationalities can enter visa exempt.

Yeah it's not helpful when the OP doesn't mention which passport they have. Looking at the girls profile she seems to be French 👍

Agree with Eric, just use a landborder transport company and they will bounce you and get you another 60 days visa exemption within some hours at a fair price.

You don't have another option, you already used the extension and there really is only one.

If this was your first entry in a while then a second consecutive one will usually be fine.

Your only option is to leave and return to get a new entry stamp. You cannot apply for another extension as you already got the 1 you are allowed. You don't have enough time to apply for a different type of visa.
