Never heard of anyone get denied a 30 days extension on visa exemption or a tourist visa, even if it’s multiple, but ok if you can confirm this is the case it could be right.

@Phil *****

The 30 days extension is tackled to his existing stay, but if he crosses the border his current visa is cancelled and he re-enters on a fresh 60 days stamp.

@Phil *****

Yes, and if he leaves before the visa/extension expires, he’ll get a fresh 60 day stamp when he re-enters anyway.

@Rick *****

This is correct and should be no issues to use the METV fully as it’s suppose to. And you’re ALWAYS entitled to do one local extension for each entry anyway. Enjoy your stay.😉

You’ll get 60 days upon each entry until the last day of your visa and all entries can be extended with additional 30 days. In total you can stay almost nine months on a six months METV.

And you don’t get anything tacked on your previous stay. Your previous 60 days TV is cancelled and a zero when you’re stamped out. You re-enter on a fresh 60 days stamp.

I think it’s some wires crossed here as we’ve discussed previously and this is a one year 90 days Non O visa with multiple entries. If you don’t apply for an extension of stay, you’ll need to re-enter every 90 days within a year.

Several people used this if their embassy offered it as it’s without the mandatory health insurance and you still can use funds at home. Also available here in Norway until recently, but the option now is removed as an adaptation to the e-visa system I guess.

I think it’s some wires crossed her and this was a one year 90 days Non O with multiple entries. If you don’t apply for the extension of stay you’ll have to re-enter every 90 days within a year. Several people used this as they didn’t want to send money to Thailand and it’s also without the mandatory health insurance.

@John *********

Obviously. This was/is also valid for a year. Several people used this as an option to leave their fund at home and as it’s easier without the extra requirements. We could get it in Norway also until recently, but now it’s removed as an adaption to the evisa system I quess.

@Steve ******

Are you sure you got a regular one year Non O-A visa and not a Non O visa in Singapore? Did you have permanent residency in SP at that time?

@Glenn ****

I don’t know if the insurance approved by the Thai immigration is very expensive itself based on cost per month, but it’s expensive compared to coverage. Therefore several people leave and re-enter on a regular Non O without mandatory health insurance and do their own health insurances.
