Hello.

My son and gf are coming to visit in December and would like to stay with me for 40-50 days. They both travel on South African passports and usually get a 30 day visa exempt entry on arrival. They would like to apply for an extension at immigration in Phuket once they’ve arrived. My questions are:

1. Any idea how long will the extension be for - another 30 days?

2. How soon after they arrive can they go to get their extension?

I am trying to save the airfare from Cape Town to Johannesburg to get a 60day visa prior to arrival as it will also entail an overnight stay.

Thank you kindly in advance 🤗

Beware South African passport holders: Looking for some clarity. I have a non o multiple entry marriage visa obtained in Savannakhet. After my first 90 days i got a 60 day extension to visit my wife from my local immigration office in Hua Hin without a problem. I normally used to go to Ban Phu Nam Ron *border* crossing Kanchanaburi but Myanmar has stopped accepting passports from South Africa for some unknown reason .

So i had to make a different choice as far as border runs are concerned . I did my first Malaysia border run to Padang Besar which was supposed to be the better border but seems that the days of doing the 90 day out in out in is also now becoming a bit of a problem. The immigration guy told me in quite a rude manner that i need a 20000 Baht statement from the bank or show them that the funds are available via my internet banking. After a bit of talking to the guy he demanded i phone my wife so that he could talk to her and tell her that he will let it pass this time but there won't be a next time without proof of funds .

I was under the impression that if i had this type of visa that i did not need proof of funds. The reason i chose Malaysia was that it was convenient as i live close to Hua Hin and not only because it was the cheapest option but also not having to stay overnight in Bangkok if i had to choose Cambodia . ( Hua Hin to Malaysia and back 1800 Baht which includes return train tickets to Hat Yai , scooter taxis and mini busses ) compared to 3000 Baht for a Cambodia border run excluding getting to Bangkok and back plus a overnight stay in Bangkok.

They have a official notice on their wall stating that Tourist and Immigrant visas ( Not stating what kind of Immigrant Visas ) need proof of 20000 Baht. Anybody have a idea if this is the case.

I have a question that I'm hoping someone can help me with. I am South African and there have been many new rules regarding south africans regarding non-b visas. We now need both a south african police clearance and a thai polive clearance. I have been here for several years, so for me to renew my non-b, I only need the thai police clearance. My problem is that I had an accident four years ago where a friend of mine died. there was no alcohol involved, however I got charged with dangerous driving. I also had a DUI six years ago. Apparently there is no possibility of getting it expunged. I have also learnt that it is a title 5 offence, a misdemeanour if you will. So my question is, will this hinder me in getting my visa renewed?

Hi All,

My Mother is a South African passport holder and is coming to visit me here in Phuket. She is arriving on the 1 Nov and leaving the 2 January. Now I know that we can extend the 30 day visa at immigration so she can then stay for 60 days. She will need another extension to allow her to stay here until the 2 January.

Can a 30 day visa exempt be extended twice or only once for South Africans?

What documents do we need to take to immigration to extend the 30 days?

Thank you in advance.
