Morning! I have a question on extending visas, my Malaysian parents are coming end of the year, I had mistakenly thought we were on a visa free for 45 days arrangement but now I see it was only up to March 2023. I would like them to come for 40 days. Last time they stayed 31 days and I was fined 1000 bath per person per day... What less pricey (than fines) alternatives do I have?

Take them to a border town? Can we do a day trip? Where’s the best/nearest place from bkk to do this?

Immigration visit to extend? For this route they will need to apply for visa in the first place in Malaysia and that’s another inconvenience as they stay a little ways out of KL where the embassy is..

Worse case, I will send them home after 30 days... 😞 my parents are 80 plus so even 10 days a year means a lot to us..

Thank you!
