Gday, I renewed my Australian passport at the embassy in Bangkok, which will take about 2-3 weeks for me to get my new one and thus I need to extend my tourist visa. My only issue is last time I was in Thailand I went to extend my visa last year the immigration in Pattaya put my extension request as “ under consideration” ( it’s marked in my passport) and I had to come back a two weeks later for them to approve it.

Is that going to become an issue if I renew it or am I better off doing a border run ? Cheers

Just read that having covid extensions in your passport can place you under more scrutiny at immigration. I had covid extensions from February to early August 2020. Then left the country until end of January 2023, when I arrived at Bangkok airport and got a 45 day visa waiver. I extended that for 30 days.

When it expires next month, my plan is to fly to Malaysia and then fly back to Phuket the next day and apply for a 30 day visa waiver.

I'd appreciate any feedback about the likely success of the venture.

Hi there,

I was a Long time in Thailand and did covidextensions. Then went 30days to Vietnam, back to Thailand for 40days and now again back in Vietnam. I want to go back again to Thailand if it’s possible. I am from Switzerland.

I can’t find any proper information on what rules apply for me. Am I allowed to go back to Thailand again or not? If not, is there a certain time I have to wait until I could go back? I wanna do it the right, legal way. I don’t wanna have a 7day stamp in my passport which says I can’t enter. Does anyone have reliable information in that case?

Hi I need some advice regarding my entry to Thailand

My last visa stamp extension I was given was up to Feb. 18th, 2022. Planing to come back to Thailand for 2 weeks as Mexican passport holders are allowed to stay in Thailand up to 15 days. My question is, will I get denied entry of any sort as I previously stayed there up to my last possible visa extension from the Ayutthaya immigration. And if there will be any issues, are there any ways to get around it ? Just want to double check before buying my flight to Thailand and getting denied entry as the regulations are always changing. Thanks in advanced

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?

I’ve been in Thailand for 5 months now and it looks like I’ll be soon enough running out of options from the immigration office to avoid visa/border runs to stay longer.

What’s the visa process like if I fleet Thailand for 1-2 months and come back?

Can I still get a visa on arrival, a tourist extension, etc?

Nationality: USA

Location: Phangan, but might be in Chang Mai before my visa expires

Type of Visa: Not sure. The visa prior was a covid visa extension. The visa I have today is a 45 day visa given from the Thailand border (went on a border run to Malaysia)

Time in Country: Visa expires Nov 16

Thank you guys in advance. Your help is much appreciated 🙏🏼

Hi everyone 👋🏼 Has someone with covid extensions in their passport gone to vietnam for a bit and came back in on visa exempt? how did it go, i would love to hear. thank you!

Is it not possible to get a Thai tourist visa in KL if you've been staying in Thailand recently? We are British nationals who've spent the last few months in Thailand with visa on arrival plus Covid extensions. Now, we are heading to KL to get tourist visas. If there is a problem with getting them there, might we be able to get them in Penang?

Hello Everybody:)

I hope you are fine

Because of the new regulation that there is no Covid extension anymore possible:)

My Question:

Its maybe possible that soon it will be possible to drive to Penang (Malaysia) by Visa run with Thai Visa Run Companys like befor Covid and make a Tourist Visa for 3 Month (2+1 Month)

Anybody know good Company that doing this or will do this soon..?

And my 2nd Question is this really the End of Covid Extension or maybe they will announce some news again that they will extend it again..

Cheers in the Group

Hey gang...2 questions (Asking for a friend with a tourist visa):

1. What's the latest on the COVID extensions going away (25th or so, I hear), and

1. Are visa border runs to Laos a thing now? Is the process still the same?

Thanks all....
