ORIGINAL POSTERHi everybody, thank you for the add!
My 90days tourist visa is coming to a end next week. I would like to extend my stay as more as possible, 1year would be amazing. I also have a double nationality : French and Belgian. I'm asking for your precious advices. What solutions do I have to stay longer? I already booked a flight to Hanoi for next week.
Thank you!

they know you can get an extension on the 60 day visa so a flight in 90 days is fine
Guen *****
ORIGINAL POSTERSo if I have a flight after 90days it's not okay? I need both in 60days and 90days? Sorry for all these questions.

@Guen ****
on their website they state you provide proof of 20K baht in a bank account, proof of onward travel in 60 days and proof of a hotel booking, but recent reports are you just show onward travelGuen *****

Guessing you have the visa for Vietnam before you go ? I had one but didn’t realise it was date specific , so talked my way onto the flight from Thailand but at Vietnam immigration got told I’d arrived ten days early and they could send me home . I apologized and admitted I didn’t realise and said I’d just do what they wanted . It was friendly enough and they gave me fourteen days . But the airline shouldn’t have let me fly .

You apply day one in the morning and pick it up next working day in the afternoon.

ORIGINAL POSTERAnother question : how many days does it take to get the passport back?
Jim *******
Immigration have the right to refuse entry to virtually anyone they wish.
Robert *******
Official there is no limit, Consulates and Embassies in surrounding countries can give a stamp with how many you used and warning that next time they might not issue another one. Also Immigration can ask questions on how you support yourself during the time without working in Thailand.

Is there a limit to the number of tourist visas you can have in a row?
Tod *********
There is no official limit, but each consulate has their own number they will issue before they red stamp your passport. Like these examples:

If you're younger, apply for a new tourist visa for 60 days and extend with another 30 as you have done with this visa. That means every 90 days do it again and again.
Guen *****
ORIGINAL POSTEROkay thank you so much!
Robert *******
yes.
Guen *****
ORIGINAL POSTERThank you so much for your advices! So I need to provide a flight ticket showing that I leave Thailand after 90 days?
Robert *******
They ask for proof of onward travel and bank statement of minimum 20.000 Thb or equivalent valuta. Passport with 6 month validity, passport picture (4x6) and the application form.
Robert *******
You go to Hanoi, so try the Thai Embassy in Hanoi.
Guen *****
ORIGINAL POSTERYes I'm 25yo. Where is it easier to get that tourist visa again?
Sorry for all the questions I know nothing about visa.

If you're over 50 years old you can apply for the Non Immigrant O visa that gives you 90 days, during the last 30 days you can than apply for 1 year Extension of Stay at Immigration if you meet the requirements.
