You can extend you stay based off your visa exemption (same as those with regular tourist visa) at every immigration office of your choosing. However, check into some accommodation (in the same district as the immigration office you choose) a night before and make sure they do the TM.30 reporting. You need to have proof of that (screenshot or paper receipt) - as some immigration offices require it even for a regular extension.

Waste of luggage allowance. All brands available here in Thailand at both local shops and online on Lazada or Shopee at around the same price.

What the Thai Consulate in Nigeria tells you it does on their website.

Right. That's what people said the last 5 times or so it was extended again and again. Nothing to do with COVID. Everything to do with keeping money in the country for lack of sufficient incoming foreign travelers. By now the last one should have gotten it.

I love it. I can already hear them old quacks saying: "Why? Land borders are open." 😅😂🤣

@Garry *****

That’s what I would attempt rather than having to physically visit a consulate in a neighbor country, yes. But again: covid extension might be the easier fix here.

@Garry *****

Does your home country Canada have Thai eVisa? If so, you can apply for one there (online only) and use that one for a border bounce with a neighbor country. Or covid extension as suggested.

The matter of the fact is, that 99% of (high income) people that actually can and want wo work remotely, do so either on a freelance basis for several clients or by running their own small or medium size company offering their services. The requirements here asking for a current (direct) employer being either a public company or a USD 150 million revenue company excludes almost everybody. Yes, during COVID times even the big old traditional companies sent their people into home office to work remotely. BUT, and that is a big BUT, many already call their staff back into office. And also, while those employees were permitted to work remotely, they were only permitted to do so from their home, thus the phrase "home office". Big, old school, traditional companies will almost never allow their direct employees to work remotely from a different country (for tax, insurance and what not other reasons). So, to conclude, it is and remains an utter failure on the side of who ever invented this new visa in Thailand to try to dictate what kind of work relationships applicants in the remote work from Thailand category should be in and what kind of companies they get paid from. Unfortunately a very common occurrence in Thailand to contradict good ideas with unsuitable overregulation that eventually render the whole thing inert.

Yes, some old people (sorry, Wealthy Pensioners), who already had it easy to stay long time before. For Work from Thailand Professionals and Wealthy Global Citizens, the conditions are not suitable for their respective target group. Guess the uniforms did not know that.

Maybe Indonesia (Bali) and other destinations currently working on remote working visa will lead the way, and then Thailand will follow in a few years with LTR 2.0, when they finally get it (or actually co-create criteria with people who get it). We will see.
