Hi everyone! I’m a bit confused about the new visa-exempt rules (60 days + 30-day extension), so I’d really appreciate your help.

I’m planning to stay in Thailand for about 90–97 days total, but during this period I will need to leave the country for a few days for international sports events.

My questions are:

1️⃣ If I leave Thailand before completing the first 60 days, and then come back, can I still apply for the +30-day extension later?

Or will immigration only give me the 7-day grace period after re-entry?

2️⃣ If I re-enter during the same 90–97-day overall window, does my time outside Thailand count toward the 90 days, or does the clock only count the days spent inside Thailand?

3️⃣ Basically:

– Can I leave once or twice within the 90–97-day allowance and still use the full 60+30 days?

– Or does leaving “interrupt” or reduce the extension?

I’ve watched several update videos, but the explanations weren’t fully clear on how exits and re-entries affect the new 60+30 system, so any firsthand experience or clarification would help a lot!

Thank you so much in advance! 🙏✨

ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS:

IMMIGRATION OFFICE CLOSURE FOR SONGKRAN

Remember people all immigration offices in the country close at 4:30PM today (Friday the 11th) and will not re-open until 8:30AM Thursday the 17th

If you have a stamp that expires on a day the immigration office is closed (weekends or holidays) and you go the very next day the immigration office is open you can get your extension like normal (you will get an overstay stamp in your passport but will not be fined)

I would hazard a guess and say that ALL offices in the country will be mobbed with people next Thursday when they re-open and if you don't have to go, DON'T..

Borders are open like usual, they don't close for holidays

Have a Safe & Happy Songkran everyone !!

Hi I am wondering, do you need to prove 500k thb in your bank at every re-entry/extensions? Or just show it one time when applying? Thx

If I have a tourist visa and I’m in Bangkok, which is the office that I go to for extensions, and do they take cash and credit cards or only cash? 

Also, do they have the photo booth on site?

I’ve never done an extension

Does the Hua Hin immigration office at Blueport deal with applications for 30 extensions from those with 60 day tourist visas as well as people with a 30 day exemption stamp.

Also do you need an appointment or is it a walk in service like Bangkok?

Hi,

Which Immigration office for 30 days extension is faster?

IT Square in BKK or Phuket immigration?

Thanks

Can you get the 30 days extension on a TR visa and also the 7 day one after?

Hi everyone- I’m up in Chiang Mai with Aus wife & 3 kids on 45 day exemption (day 12). I’m 50, wife not at magic number yet. Thoughts please on best way forward (Visas) to stay at least 6 months.

How can I cancel my ED visa? I am aware that leaving the country without doing anything doesn't mean that my ED is cancelled.

I had my last extension on my current ED and due date it's 27 january 2023. Decided to leave earlier to get out of Thailand.

I booked a morning flight around 650am somewhere in mid January. Messaged my language school and there was no reply... (Perhaps they missed it)

Now I was told that I have to leave the same day when my ED is cancelled, but my flight is in morning, couldn't go to immigration at chaengwatanna to cancel.

Can I cancel my ED at the airport directly? What documents do I need to prepare?

TIA

Hi! My 2nd covid extension visa ends on Friday. My e-visa for Vietnam may not be available as I am having trouble getting it. Is it possible to go to Immigration and get a one-week extension? Or are they strict, and I would have to leave country on Friday?
