Hello. I’m wondering if anyone has ever been able to get an “under consideration” stamp for a couple days earlier than what it should be when applying for one year extension? Ex: they want you to come on Monday but you ask to get it on the previous Thursday or Friday instead. Reasoning being need to fly out of country over the weekend.
I was previously in Thailand for 3 months (visa exemption + extension), after i booked a trip to vietnam to apply for the DTV for 1 week but my visa is still processing. Can I let it continue processing and reenter thailand on a visa expemption for an additinal 3 months and then hopefully it gets approved by then and I can reenter on the DTV?
I am looking into staying í Thailand for a few months and looking at which Visa will be best for us (me and my 14 yo). A 60 day multiple tourist Visa would be fine since we also plan to visist Cambodia and Malaysia. I know there is also a 90 day Visa but a lot more paperwork to gather.
So here are my questions for the 60 day Visa:
1. Do I understand it right that for the multientry Visa I need to book and pay for 2 tickets into Thailand and 2 tickets out of Thailand before I apply to the embassy?
2. Also it says we MAY be permitted to stay for 60 days, is that not guaranteed?
3. When is the last time I can enter if the Visa is issued on, lets say 15. August 2025 and first entry is 1. september 2025. Each stay in Thailand will be 60 days and 2-3 weeks in Cambodia and Malaysia.
I have a EU passport and have visited Thailand every year since 2018 (except 2020 and 2021). Staying always 2 months. Used the 30-day visa exemption and the 30 day extension. In 2024 the 60- day exemption was enough.
This year I plan exceptionally to come twice, 2 month May- July returning to Europe for 3 weeks and then again near 3 months planning the 60 day exemption plus the 30 day extension. Always with a 2 way returning trip booked. I never imagined i could have a problem doing this, but by what i have been reading here....
Assuming the first trip will be peaceful, my question is about the problems i might find in the second (August-November).
1- When i try to get the one month extension i may be denied ?
2- Emirates (or another fly company) may denie my boarding saying i am returning in 3 months but my visa exemption just works for 2 months ?
If you feel there would be problems i would be grateful for some suggestions.
Theoretically i can try to get a DTV Visa but i was not expecting it would be necessary.
