I have a EU passport and have visited Thailand every year since 2018 (except 2020 and 2021). Staying always 2 months. Used the 30-day visa exemption and the 30 day extension. In 2024 the 60- day exemption was enough.
This year I plan exceptionally to come twice, 2 month May- July returning to Europe for 3 weeks and then again near 3 months planning the 60 day exemption plus the 30 day extension. Always with a 2 way returning trip booked. I never imagined i could have a problem doing this, but by what i have been reading here....
Assuming the first trip will be peaceful, my question is about the problems i might find in the second (August-November).
1- When i try to get the one month extension i may be denied ?
2- Emirates (or another fly company) may denie my boarding saying i am returning in 3 months but my visa exemption just works for 2 months ?
If you feel there would be problems i would be grateful for some suggestions.
Theoretically i can try to get a DTV Visa but i was not expecting it would be necessary.
Thanks
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user, holding an EU passport, inquires about potential issues he might face while trying to extend his stay in Thailand during two visits planned for 2024. He has previously used the 30-day visa exemption and a 30-day extension and is now considering a 60-day exemption followed by a 30-day extension for his second visit. Community comments suggest that he is likely to encounter no issues with the extensions as long as he follows proper protocols, such as securing a return ticket and ensuring his visits do not imply long-term residency.
