you can come in on 30 day visa exempt and within those 30 days apply for a 30
day extension at your local thai immigration office for 1900 baht. Please click on the link provided by Robert above to apply for Thailand pass and check requirements.
Think you’re getting confused between thailand pass and visa requirements. If you’re coming in on a UK passport, you can get 30 days visa exempt and extend for an additional one time 30 days when you are in Thailand. The other option is a 60 day tourist visa from the Thai embassy in London which allows you 60 days plus extended one time for 30 days in Thailand. Thailand pass is something totally different but is mandatory also at this point in time.
So a related question to this thread. When the poster moves to new accommodation within a new immigration jurisdiction, as well as filing a new TM30;
1. does the clock for the new 90 day report reset from day one of the new TM30 application or does he continue with current 90 day and report it in the new immigration office.
2. Does he need to do a personal visit for the first 90 day report in the “new” immigration office.
and make sure you have the 800,000 baht seasoned in your Thailand bank account in your name only for 60 days before you apply for your yearly extension.
