Hi everyone! I have a Filipino passport and am granted a 30-day visa exemption in Thailand. I work remotely and am thinking of staying for a few months, perhaps around 4 months or so, depending on how long I can actually stay. Now, my question is, what are the visa options available to me? If there are none, how many times can I extend my visa through local immigration, or perhaps do visa runs?
TLDR : Answer Summary
As a Filipino passport holder, you are granted a 30-day visa exemption in Thailand. For an extended stay of around 4 months, you can apply for a 60-day tourist visa at the Thai consulate before you leave the Philippines. This can be extended once for an additional 30 days. Following this, you can exit Thailand and re-enter for another 30-day visa exemption and potentially extend again. Be cautious with repeated visa runs, as immigration may question your intent if done too frequently. A multiple-entry tourist visa is another option, allowing for a longer stay if managed correctly.
