I just discovered that the Nairobi consulate does not like it if you have done a visa extension while on a tourist visa in Thailand.

My friend went to get a single-entry tourist visa. But he had done a single-entry tourist visa before. And he had extended by 30 days at immigration in Bangkok (from 60 to 90 days total).

The consulate did not like this. They said they do not give tourist visas to people who have extended them in the past. And he was told to not do this again.

Just FYI.

Has anyone encountered this at other consulates?

I'm in the process of applying for a visa to come back to Thailand. But I'm stuck on a couple of supporting docs I need to add.

1. Residence permit? Can I use my passport. Never even heard of one.

2. Document indicating current residency? I'm currently staying with my Dad. So not sure what I'm supposed to add here.

Any help gratefully received as I can't find any help on their E-visa website.

Many thanks in advance for what must be repetitive questions. Just a bit confused about my options for a New Zealand passport. Can I get a 60 day VOA then extend for 30 days more? I currently have return flights booked for a 5 month period and I'm hoping to stay most of that time if possible, with a visa run. Should I book a cheap flight out to another country for within 60 days of first arrival, then cancel if I get an extension? Thanks again.

What are the requirements to be able to stay in the Kingdom for 6-8 months a year? I am shortly marrying my long term Thai girlfriend and hope to eventually retire but finances will probably mean I have to work the uk for 4-6 moths a year. I have a condo and have bought land for my girlfriend and her daughter that hopefully will have a house built over the next few years. Any guidance would be welcome tia
