Hello, I have some family visiting soon and they will be entering on a 30d visa exemption stamp. Since they are going to be staying > 30 days they will need to do an extension of stay in country. Does the extension stamp add on to the end of current stamp?
For example, if they land September 1st with a 30 day stamp and then get an extension on September 2nd, will they have a stay until end of October?
Thanks in advance
TLDR : Answer Summary
When entering Thailand with a 30-day visa exemption stamp, the extension of stay will be added to the end of the current stamp. For example, if your family arrives on September 1st and extends their visa on September 2nd, they will indeed have until the end of October to stay in the country. However, it is essential to apply for the extension before the initial 30 days expires on September 30th. Additionally, airlines may require proof of onward travel within the 30-day period, so it is advisable to check this before departure.
