Oh sorry. You said 45 days before the stamped date. I got it. Thanks.

Thanks. Is there a time frame when I can apply? Can I apply shortly after I land?

Thanks Tony. With the SETV visa, can I apply for the 30 days extension shortly after I land? Is it possible to do it online ? Reason being some of the apts requires a three month lease and we will be in there in peak season.

Pardon my ignorance. What's the difference between SETV and the tourist visa? They seem to do the same thing.

Thanks Tod for your prompt response. It is reassuring to know we will get the 30 days extension.

We appreciate all suggestions. We now think staying in Thailand specifically Chang Mai for three months is enough. The purpose is to escape our winter without breaking the bank. We want to stay in one place, no visa run if possible. Multiple entry is not necessarily. Should we get the 60 days tourist visa and extend for another 30 days for 1900 baht. Is that the easiest and most economical way? Forgot to mention we are US passport holder residing in NewYork City. The website says it is up to the discretion of the officer which means there is no guarantee we get that 30 days. Wondering under what circumstances would they reject? We have never overstayed our visa. The uncertainty is making it difficult to book return air tickets ? Cathy Pacific charges $200 to make changes. Some condos require staying for three months. What are your thoughts?
