It’s probably just an error and 3 is corrected to 1 which gives 11. Nothing else makes sense.

60 days visa exemption is the new normal now until anything changes.

And if you update your insurance for another year and get stamped in short time before 11th November 2025 you can stay until 10th November 2026. For your second year you’ll need to purchase re-entry permits as the visa itself it’s expired and you’re on permission to stay.

You’ll only get 60 days at all border points on visa exemption. No half offers, it’s all or nothing.

True, that’s how Non O-A visa gives up to two years in Thailand.

When status is changed to “Finnish” you’ll have an e-mail with your visa as a pdf as Stuart states. (You can also open your e-visa in the e-visa portal).

Yes, you’ll need to update your TM.30 in Bangkok as you’re (should be) registered on another TM.30 (Chiang Mai) at date.

If you leave the country and re-enter to the same address, several immigrations don’t require any update.

I’ve seen feedbacks of people allowed to convert to Thai licence only with a national driving licence from an English speaking country.

We could convert only our Norwegian licence previously if we got a confirmed translation of our licenses from our embassy in Bangkok. The embassy has stopped providing this service, so now it’s no way around a IDP to convert.

I’m sure practice regarding this varies between DLT, but it’s wort a try to check this up.

For driving you’ll be fined without a IDP anyway.

Tourist extensions are normally done within one or two days.

Some immigrations only let you apply within the last week, although most accept 30 day prior to due time.

I suggest you just go and get handed over their requirements. Normally you’ll need your passport with copy of ID-site and last stamps, one pass photo, receipt of your TM.30 address registration if they’ll ask for it and 1900 baht in cash. You apply on a TM.7 form at the immigration and can just ask your hotel or landlord of a receipt of your TM.30.

You don’t have a multiple entries visa, but you can buy a re-entry permit at the immigration or at the airport before you at 1000 baht for single and 3800 baht for multiple.

You only report after 90 days consecutive days in Thailand, so no notification is needed and the “90 days clock” restarts when you re-enter.
