Local hospitals are cheap, international hospitals are not cheap at all. Have you ever been hospitalised at a local Thai hospital?

Maybe you are lucky that your home health insurance will cover parts of the emergency treatment. But you still have to pay out of own pocket, before you can be reimbursed in your home country.

A tourist visa will give you 60 + 30 days

If your passport allows you to enter Visa exempt, you will until get 45 + 30 days.

After it will revert back to 30 + 30 days.

A tourist visa or the exempt stamp, can not be extended more than 1 time.

@Winston *******

Peruvian passport holders do not have the option to make 30 day extensions.

My guess is that the OP had her request denied, and got 7 days to leave the country.

@Wayne ******

my apologies. I was not aware that I needed permission to reply you. Did you ask Charles for permission before you addressed him ?

@Neil **********

what do you want to know ?

@Wayne ******

Perhaps a waste for you, but for others not so much. I am quite satisfied with my purchase.

@Tod ********

Thank you for the clarification.

I was under the impression that it was all language schools that had issues at the moment, and only official schools (like a uni) were still able to process the papers for a visa.

A little side note just FYI. The government is clamping down on language school/muay Thai EDs, and unless you study at a university, you might not get any extension in June.

I only mention this so it doesn't come as a surprise, and you will have little time to relocate your family.

@Yunus ******

Years ago it was not super hard to cheat the system, but it is getting harder and harder.

I managed 7 years in the country on EDs/Exempts and TVs, but 3 years ago I came to the end of the line and had to get a proper visa to be able to live here.

Living here on a short-term visa is a constant headache and not something I recommend. One day the party is over, and it is not fun if your whole life is in the country.

@Kurt ****

you can only get 1 30 day extension per entry.

60 days + 30 days extension. Then leave the country and upon return you get 60 days that you again extend with 30 days.
