So we have a slight change of plans, but our 60 days end on the 25th.

We were supposed to do 2 weeks Kuala Lumpur and then come back to do a house sitting for Christmas/New Year (4 weeks total) and while deciding what we want to do next.

Now my kids have decided they want to stay on Koh Tao for long term.

Would it be possible to get the 30 day extension in time or is it too late?

After that I will be looking into the educational visa, because I wanted to learn Thai anyway

I suppose the first applicants for the DTV passed the 180 days point by now.

So, share details about the extension phase for the next 180 days please.

Hello everyone. 🙂

I flew in and received a 60 day visa exempt on UK passport.

I want to extend for another 30 days, making total 90 days.

Can this be done from your first day of arrival onwards or does it have to be towards the end of the 60 day visa exempt to get the full additional 30 days extension?

Also am I best to extend in Patong office or when I go to Koh phangan? Is there one thats quicker and more efficient you would choose?

Thanks so much in advance for any advice or input. 🙏🏼😊

If I book a return flight to the Uk after 90 days, hoping to get a 30 day extension at immigration, after 60 days and have a throwaway onward ticket to Malaysia before the expiry of the visa exempt. Can anyone foresee any problems ? Thanks in advance.

I am 71 years old and on ME OA (R) Visa issued in South Africa. Valid until 27 Feb 2025. I need to do first one year extension in Feb 2025. I want to use the Income method but my problem is that I only managed to open Bank Account in April.

(We arrived in March) I do have proof of arriving with Forex in excess of Baht 100 k cash for March but will only have bank statements for 11 months to prove 65k income. Will immigration accept the cash forex as income for March to meet the 12 month requirement?

If it is an option could I use a combination Income plus 400k bank

balance ?

We are in Lamai Koh Samui

Thanks folks.

Need a 30 day extension visa, 60 days runout on 5 November. I intended to go to immigration at jomtiem myself and do it. I have a friend in hospital so I’m visiting and supporting them so time at a premium . I saw a you tube of someone who had an agent that did it for 4 k I can’t find it again , I know that’s double but I just want to save time and hassle . I do not get private messages so if you have any genuine recommendations of someone who can help reply in main thread. I’m in view talay 2 a area , so as close as possible . Thanks in advance

Hello, i have a visa on arrival (15 days) i read it is possible to extend by 7 days, does anyone have a confirmation if it possible. Thank you

Hi we are planning on coming to Thailand for 3 months from the uk 60 day visa exemption and 30 visa extension how soon can I do the extension at immigration

I have just being approved (DTV) by the Spanish Embassy.

My experience has been as follows:

1. Bank Statements: I provided bank statements for the last 6 months for at least 500k baths during the period.

1. Payroll: I submitted my last 2 payrolls.

1. Employment Contract: Although I mentioned that I was going to work on projects as the clients demands and was not on the payroll, the company provided an official letter confirming this situation.

1. Purpose of Visit: They asked for a letter explaining what I would be doing in Thailand. Since I work for a Corporate Incentive Travel agency, I explained that my goal was to get to know the country on a firsthand to recommend Thailand as a destination to our clients.

1. Additional Documents: I also included the rental contract of the house we had rented + health insurance by AXA that my husband and I obtained + medical certificate confirming that we do not have any diseases required for the OA non-immigrant visa, which my husband is also applying for at the same time.

Uffff so release with the news.

Question; My purpose is to stay for 8 months in Koh Samui, so to extend for 2 more months (6+2), should I change my visa after the 180 days? Should I stay as a tourist? Thanks in advance

Hello everyone, I entered Thailand with a visa exempt and got the extension already. Today I got a new passport from my embassy and the old one is now void. I am leaving in two weeks by air.

The question is:

1. Can I simply go to the airport, show my old and new passports, and get it sorted out there while going through immigration, or...

2. Do I need to go back to Laksi (where I got the extension) to transfer both stamps before flying out?

I would think that since it's a visa exempt, and already extended, number 1 should be alright, but I am not sure.

I would appreciate some insights.
