Can I extend my 6-month multiple entry visa in Thailand without leaving every 60 days?

Thomas ********************

It is stressful indeed 😃 The valid reason to extend is "Tourism", btw. Have never had any problem with it.

Thomas ********************

Also, seems worth mentioning that with the METV there's no need to leave every 60 days. With a local 30 day extension, each stay is closer to 90 days.

Another way is to get a "letter of reference" from your embassy. That made it smooth for me (on a tourist visa at the time. But don't think he checked that.)

Thomas ********************

Didn't that start thousands of years ago? :)

I'm in Pattaya, btw. And believe me, I want a return to something near normal as much as the next one (including shorter or no quarantine for the jabbed.)

But again, I'm pretty certain that will require efforts inside the country to have moved along significantly.
