Will I receive a 30-day extension on my visa after returning to Thailand in October 2025?

More than likely you should face no problems getting an extension, you're here at the beginning of the year and back at the end of the year. Sounds like genuine tourist that likes to spend a few months here to me.

Get a visa instead of hassle with multiple visa exemption

Allow me a look across what we got here:

“Good morning to everyone, one question, I made my last extension in December 2024 after a 60 days exempt entry.

I'm back in Thailandia the 16 October 2025 and my 60 days exempt entry will finish the 14 December 2025

Will I get 30 days extension? Which will be the first and only in 2025?”

*** let’s break this down, the 30 days extension will carry you until January 13th

After that I'll will flight to Vietnam for two weeks, should I get another 60 days exempt on my way back to Thailand?

*** January 13 plus 14 days, this would mean a re-entry date on January 27. You get stamped in for another 60 days, until March 25.

So far, absolutely possible!

“And if my flight back home will be the 13 April 2026, do you guys think I can have another 30 extension? “

*** That’s where a few hurdles might come into play that might be considered:

*** FIRST HURDLE: the airline you leave Vietnam on January 27 on the way back to Thailand will most obviously require an onward travel proof – a REAL flight ticket! -within the first 60 days you will get stamped in!

And even Immigration, at this point, CAN request the proof of onward travel out of Thailand (plus 20,000 THB cash and proof of accommodation)

*** SECOND HURDLE: it is absolutely not foreseeable if you will be granted another 30 days extension

BECAUSE within a rolling one-year period, you can have only two extensions on visa exempt entries – based on many reports we received - first for 30 days and the second one for only 7 days (or maybe not even those 7 days extension at all, which was reported, too!)

***you are playing with your odds. No “real” tourist is staying in holiday from October 16 thru April 13. Which amounts to 177 consecutive days away from the home country . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . WHY didn't you buy a multi entry 6-months Tourist Visa for your intended holiday?rts we received -

With your itinerary you should have bought a multi entry tourist visa (METV)

Depends on the immigration officer

Why not just get a tourist visa while you're out of country. Will certainly reduce the risk.

It’s interesting how we define what a tourist is ?

Dont see an issue

Sounds like the OP might be pushing his luck and should consider a visa. Does a genuine tourist spend months and months on vacation?. It will be interesting to see how it plays our for him.

I should think so, especially as you have flight out booked. You may be questioned you may not, who knows! You come across as a genuine tourist.
