I am an Indian, currently residing in US, and planning to visit Thailand in April. I know Indians have a 30-day visa exemption currently. I want to know can that be extended? If I want to be there for 37 days, what should I do? Request immigration officer?

Also, I will be staying in a monastery for 30 days. Do I need to book return ticket in advance of 30 days from the date of arrival in Thailand? Also, do I need to show the immigration officer anything about my stay?

Your advice is greatly appreciated 🙏

Hi group! I am hoping to come to Thailand for some meditation retreats and hope to stay at a monastery for some time. Has anyone done this or know what visa would work best? I see with the single entry 3 month you need to provide hotel accommodation receipts for the entire stay. Any tips greatly appreciated 🙏🙏
