Hello everyone. I intend to extend my tourist visa at immigration for 30 days. This is my first entry into Thailand this year. Am I likely to encounter any problems? Because I understand that the authorities in Thailand are now very strict. I ask because I saw a post by a tourist who was not approved for some reason, even though this is his first entry this year.

Hi everyone, '

Just a quick question, how many days prior to end of 60 days Visa Free entry can we go Extend?

Can we go Extend say 29 days before expiry of the 60 days or is it shorter than that?

Thanks

This group is very helpful. Please confirm that for the 800,000 Thai bank requirement a combination of pension + bank deposit totaling 800,000 for the year is acceptable. Thanks.

Ive been sending the 65KTHB was required monthly (from US) in order to get the 800K bunked back after the first year - which cycles around mid-January 2025.

It sure seems like many people have written to be incoming the same day every month or very close (and once it was 5 days from that) or very likely rejected - ie I wouldn’t be able to drop the requirement of keeping 800K after a year - is that true?

Also that they want to see it as looking like a pension amount - regularly deposited and sent out - and sometimes I put it in in several deposits the same day (like 35K + 10K + 20K) simply because Wise wouldn’t allow the whole 65K to go through at once except several days later.

So that also makes me wonder about the likelihood of them making me keep the 800K in another year

I’m on a dependant visa which will need renewed in a few months time. I’ve previously had the 400k in an account but also transfer a significant sum over the year. Can I use previous transfers and wage slips instead of the 400k?

Hi, if we entered on an exempt visa from England and extended for 30 days ( until 2nd jan) we were looking to leave to go to Cambodia however this is proving hard with timescales and where we are.

Can we get the covid extension for 30 days again so we have essentially had 60 day extension? Thank you

ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS:

Thai Cabinet approves 60 day covid extension program to continue until Dec 31st 2021.

We now are now waiting for the order to be signed and officially announced

Thanx again to Kevin McGregor and Jyoti Sarinthorn for breaking the news yesterday.

This is the minutes from the cabinet meeting

Do I understand correctly that if I do a covid extension today, then I can do it again before 30 Nov to get 60 days again, as long as I pay the fee?

Hello, I have a few questions:

1) I plan to visit Thailand on a 60 days visa in November and will have to quarantine for 14 days (or x days depending on the situation). Will I be staying in Thailand for 74 days or are these 14 days included in the initial 60 days?

2) I plan to renew this visa for an additional 30 days at the end of my initial stay. How soon can I renew this visa? Can it be done 3-4 weeks before the 60 day visa expires?

Thanks.

I finished my quarantine yesterday and tried to rent a condo but couldn’t find a suitable one yet. I am now living in my friend’s dormitory. I want to ask about the TM30, what should I do if I haven’t rented a condo, and when is the deadline to report my accommodation, will I be fined by the immigration office? Thanks!
