a Philippines passport does not require any visa. You'll be stamped in automatically for 60 days. This is true of about 90 countries worldwide.

If you are only wanting to do a total of 6 months you get 60 days on arrival, pay 1900 Bhat each for an additional 30 days. Leave the country by land for a day. Get another 60 days and then do another 30 day extension within Thailand.

Thank you for this - it isn't a big deal if I don't get the full added benefits. I am not using it as a way to merely stay longer in a country. Being able to use the APEC entry line to the Philippines, Vietnam, and Thailand is a nice benefit for me either way.

And I'm not being paid for anything.

@Ellie ******
I understand that. By then my dealings will be completed. I'm laying the groundwork for early retirement and after this 5 year period doubt I would reapply unless things pick up elsewhere (like the Philippines).
Christopher ********
Agreed the CM volunteers and immigration staff have been helpful and nice for the most part.
Christopher ********
So I take it we better return even though we did the right thing and asked twice if everything was finished and ok.

we went to Chiang Mai immigration on the same day our stamp said. They processed the passport said we were done and the did not add a stamp.
