If i have had my visa extended to 25th july, will it be ok for me to fly out of and into thailand again? Just found out i need to fly out 1st july for a couple days. I have a Malaysian passport, so have visa exempt.

My fiancé is arriving from Australia on 23rd January and stay until end of July 2024. We are getting married in Thailand mid Feb. Due to other travel he didn’t have have enough time to get a Tourist Visa in Australia.

So he will enter on visa exempt and then we will apply for a 30 day extension.

1. My first question is how long after his arrival can we apply for the extension?

After the extension we will go to Penang and a get a 60 day Tourist Visa.

2. Can we extend the Tourist visa another 30 day?

We will then leave again and re enter on visa exempt for the last month.

3. Will that work to get another entry visa exempt?

He has a flight booked to leave Thailand in 22July.

I am also Australian.

I have a METV with a 90 day validity from day of issue. So I must leave Thailand every 60 days - at least.

BUT, when the validity is running out, would it be possible to extend a 60 day period with 30 days (the 1900 bt procedure), to a avoid the trip out, but also consequently making the visa null and void?

That’s it unless you like to travel. If you don’t travel around and just stay at the premises you are registered at then you won’t have any issues. Your registration does not expire. As soon as you leave the country, even for a few days, you must re-register on your return.

# If you stay in a hotel/guest house within Thailand, then you’ve re-registered in a different location. Once you return to your primary location in Thailand you have to re-register in that location again - TM30 Explained! You Must Register Any Non Thai National Living In Your Property!

Covid visa extension, Phang-nga province

We went to Phang-nga immigration yesterday, Friday. Our Visa "history" - 60 days from arrival, 30 day extension, and just received our first covid extension. No problems, very friendly and professional staff, 60 days granted, no 15 days consideration time. 1900 baht per person. 👍🏽🤩

List of everything we needed -

Passport plus one photocopy

One passport photo

Arrival card from plane

Copy of - insurance, covid vaccines, original Visa from arrival, departure flight details, print-out from hotel*, that they have registered us as staying there. I think most accommodation places do this, that's the what previous guest house told us.

*make sure to have address, and contact telephone number for hotel, if you don't have your own Thai mobile number.

Took 2 hours for 4 people. Mostly because there are quite a few repetitive forms to fill in. ✍🏽✍🏽✍🏽💪🏽☺️

Photocopy shop right beside immigration, 2 baht per copy. Good idea to have all copies ready before you go in, and matched up in each person's passport. 👍🏽 Don't know if passport photo printing available.

And the essential - she asked us why we wanted to stay? We started with "we would like to stay longer...".

"No, cannot do." She needed to hear us say, "we can't go back to our country because of covid", which we'd luckily read about in this group. We'd been advised to have a couple of screenshots of the bad covid status in our home country ready (which isn't hard to get unfortunately/luckily!?!) Didn't matter if not in English. However we were not asked for this.

Last tip - our Visa was due to expire on Sunday. We went yesterday, Friday, as we didn't want overstay. She kindly told us that when the Visa expires on a "holiday", coming on Monday is fine. Suggested we came back again on Monday, which would have given us three more days. But we'd paid 1500 baht for the return taxi from Khao Lak, so while we were there... 😄

Our 60 day Covid visa therefore started yesterday, no 15 days consideration.

Hope this helps other people with the process. 🙏🏼 See you all within 60 days for advice on getting a second covid extension 😆🇹🇭🤪

I may want to do a business trip to Germany (US passport). To get back in i'd need:

I already have a non-B visa and can buy a reentry simply enough.

I'd need some additional COVID insurance, if my health insurance doesn't cover enough, a fit-to-fly certificate from a Doctor which includes a COVID test (PCR?)

anything else i need to know?
