My son (21 years old , Indian passport holder) is currently studying in US. He wants to visit us in Bangkok during summer vacation. He is willing to stay here for about 3 months.
Which visa he should apply for? The Washington DC embassy site suggests that he should apply for a tourist visa which is for 60 days and then try to get an extension in Bangkok .
Is it possible to get 30 days extension for Indian passport holder now? ( I know prior to pandemic, it was only 8 days).
Is it still possible to apply for STV ? My son doesn't want to extend it beyond 3 months.
What can be the best option for him?
TIA ๐
