In your opinion, what is the best option to extend my 60-day visa on arrival for another 60 days?

I just realised I've messed up badly in my understanding of multiple entry tourist visa : (

I wanted to stay in Thailand for six months (September 2025-March 2026). My 60 days is up and I can extend for 30 days, but I'm wondering what to do after that. Suggestions, please, for the easiest way to get around this.

Hello,

I have been in Thailand for almost 60 days and need to start the visa application process for the DTV.

Which surrounding country has quick turn around times and good pricing? I would appreciate any help, thank you!

Dear group, I need some advice regarding visa regulations. I want to come to Thailand for a few months (December - May) as a tourist, and I plan to travel occasionally to neighboring countries (Laos, Cambodia). I know there are multiple-entry visas for 60 days, extendable to 90 days, but what happens next? Can I apply for a new visa after that period? How does the application process work at the embassy in EU countries? Until now, I’ve been using visa-exempt entry, so I’m not sure how the regulations work in practice.

Hey everyone just seeking some advice please. I fly to bangkok on 17th Nov and my flight back to Scotland is 31st jan.

I am wanting to leave the country and visit Cambodia, bali or Vietnam anyway but confused with the rules. I know I can get a 60 day tourist visa but I won’t be in a position to pay for my first hotel till a couple of weeks before I leave (due £ in), I also won’t have my other flight to the neighbouring country booked as I’m going with the flow and wanted to decide where to visit once I arrived in Thailand.

Will I be okay to either;

1. Travel without any visa then halfway through for 17 days and return and get the other 30 days visa free or

2. Apply for the 60 day tourist visa and then extend without paying for any hotels in advance of my application?

I’m away for 77 days.

Hope this makes sense and any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks 😊

soon, i will apply for a Non-O e-visa (retirement) . On the e-visa site, they give you an option to chose between One Entry or Multiple Entries, but they warn you that, if you ask for Mulltiple, you "prove that you have a genuine reason to visit Thailand on a regular basis" and there will be a fee difference also. What i was thinking of doing was, while in Thailand (for about 4 months), maybe to visit one, maximum 2 neighbour countries. Would that be a "genuine reason"? What prove should i give them in that case? Am i right to say that, if my visa is only One Entry, i can not visit any other country while staying under it's validity?

Hi, What's the procedure these days to apply for a non-B after getting a job? I'm already in the country and on my ''exempt''? Do I have to go to the Thai embassy in my home country? Thanks.

I have a return flight booked from July 8th-6th October. I’m planning on traveling to neighbouring countries in between to try and stick to the 30 day entry visas. I saw online that I will have to show I’m exiting the country within 30 days. Is this true?

What is the turnaround time for applying for a tourist e-visa? My visa exemption will expire soon. I am thinking of leaving to a nearby country real quick and come back when it is approved. How long must I be out of the country to get stamped back in for visa exemption? Thanks again for the help!
