Hi I'm a fully vaxxed Canadian so I'm planning on entering via Thailand Pass after Nov 1. My question is what type of visa should I get so I can stay the longest possible time? How much can I extend it? Will an education visa allow me to stay an extra year?
Thanks
TLDR : Answer Summary
A fully vaccinated Canadian entering Thailand after November 1 can consider several visa options for the longest possible stay. The options include: 1) a retirement visa for those over 50, which allows a 90-day stay upon arrival, extendable; 2) a tourist visa offering an initial 60 days, extendable for another 30 days; 3) a visa-exempt entry for 30 days, also extendable. For longer stays, the Special Tourist Visa (STV) is available, providing up to 270 days but requires significant paperwork. Additionally, an education visa could potentially allow for a stay of up to a year, depending on specific circumstances.
