I have been living in the far north of Chiang Mai province for a few years now on extensions based on marriage to a Thai but now I am here on a visa exempt. I will apply for a new visa based on marriage to a Thai next month after I have the required funds in my bank account. In the meantime, I need an extension because my visa exempt will expire next week, before I have the funds in my account for the new visa application.

Will immigration balk if I apply for a 30 day, so-called "tourism" extension? If not, what should I put as the reason for staying on the TM.7 application? A quick look through my passport makes it obvious I am not here as a tourist.

I ask because my wife is 6-months pregnant and prefers not to make the trip to the city this time - she would need to be present if I was applying 60 day extension based on visiting Thai family.

I guess another option would be a border bounce via Chiang Khong/Huay Xai. Are they currently requiring an overnight stay (or longer?) in Laos?

Hello. Hopefully someone can help me… I’m on holidays in Thailand and have had to get an emergency passport. The Australian embassy have told me I will have to get an ‘entry stamp’ on my new passport before I depart but no one is able to tell me if I can do this directly at the airport or whether I have to go to Thai immigration head office?! Thanks in advance

Can someone inform me the address of the immigration in bangkok to make an extention of stay and the extention is 30 or 45 days as the exempt entry on arrival.

Thanks

Hello @ All

Im German and have a visa stamp valid for 45 days under the bilateral agreement of the two states.

I know I can have it extended for another 45 days at an imigration office.

My question is:

Can I get this extended a 3rd time or even more times?

Does it make a difference if I exit and re enter the country?

I read something about a limitation of 90 days stay within a 180 day period, no matter if extended with visa run or inside thailand.

Thanks for clarifying.

Hi there! I'm on Ko Samui right now under visa exemption stamp until 29 January.

I would like to extend my stay to 60 days by "COVID extension stamp".

1. What a correct reason should i fill in the immigration office form to get 60 days extension?

2. What additional documents may be required?

Thanks.
