All 3 Thai mobile carriers provide cheap discount international calling codes. For dtac , it is , for AIS , it is , for True, it is . So, for example, you dial the UK (country code 44) by dialing 44 and the phone number. You can look up the rates to your country by Google searching terms like "AIS Rates".

If it is a multi entry tourist visa, you get 60 days upon entry, not 90. You have to go to an immigration office after entry to extend to get the extra 30 days.

@David *******

not in the category it is in which is not for digital nomad or work. It seems to be for attendees. A DJ would need a work visa.

Imagine getting a 5 year visa by proving you frequently attend music festivals. What do you need to prove, that you have ferry tickets to go to Koh Phangan for a bunch of Full Moon Parties? 😁

The PE visa still seems the only viable option for non-working unmarried dependents that don't have their own bank account to prove the funds (such as half of a same sex couple without their own bank account), unless by sponsorship letter, they mean they will accept a letter from the partner showing they guarantee the funds.

Americans don't qualify for visa on arrival, which is a distinct entry scheme required for under 20 nationalities where they must pay 2000 THB upon arrival for a 15 day non-extendable visa. Americans enter via a free 30 day visa exempt entry where your passport is stamped without granting any visa.

and 006 are the two international dialing prefixes for True. is cheaper, and 006 is supposedly premium quality connections. You dial that prefix, then the country code and number. Of course, you always drop the leading 0 in the phone number whenever you dial internationally, just like you would for Thai phone numbers. So to dial the UK, you would dial -44-33etc, since the UK country code is 44, and you said the number starts with 33 (dropping the leading zero).

@Jay ***

you've interpreted that incorrectly. The tourist visa is valid to be used ONE time within a 3 month period for one entry of 60 days. It doesn't grant a 90 day stay. The visa itself is valid to be redeemed once during the 90 days before it expires, not that it gives a 90 day stay.

Tourist visas are used to enter the country, not to extend your stay. You can't extend a visa exempt entry with a 60 day tourist visa or evisa without exiting the country and reentering on the tourist visa to activate the 60 days.

@Roy *******

you probably confused the 30 day extension you can get on either a 30 day visa exempt entry or a 60 day tourist visa, with the act of getting an actual tourist visa, which must be done before entering Thailand. Visas are used to enter a country, not to extend a stay once you are in the country. You probably didn't pay attention to the semantics and terms used. I am certain the Thai consulate did not actually say you can apply for a tourist visa once you've arrived in Thailand, and beyond unlikely that 100 YouTube videos also said something so incorrect. You just assumed extensions and a new visa are the same thing.
