@Christer ****

not so much, they came out a while back and talked about reducing it to 30 days from 60 but then there hasn't been a peep about it since

@Chika *************

the one year extension is ADDED to the expiration date of the 90 day stamp from the Non-O <- which means with the Non-O and the year extension you have 15 months total 🙂 and each year after that will be added to that same expiration date year after year

This is a general list of things required to get a 30 day extension on a 60 day visa exempt or 60 day tourist visa entry stamp. Remember there are over 80 offices in the country so what yours requires might be a bit different

More and more offices are requiring that you have a TM30 receipt (showing you're registered as staying in the area served by the immigration office)

@Richard *****

here's a thought, how about just flying to a country you get in to for FREE, like round trip KL Malaysia, or Singapore 😉

No sense going to a country you have to BUY a visa to get into 🙂

@Richard *****

that's one way for them to "encourage" people to just bounce out/back and get a new 180 day stamp rather than try for the extensions in country 🙂

@Graeme ******

correct, extensions based on retirement get issued that same day (y)

At this time people from 90+ countries (Canada included) can get in to thailand free stamp (visa exempt) entry for 60 days without purchasing any visa.

There is talk by the thai government that they will reduce the 60 days down to 30 but even if they do that between now and your planned trip here that won't affect your planned stay,

Anonymous participant 401 and there should be NO issue entering thailand from cambodia at ANY of the land borders

As long as you're trying to do it when they are open (some have squirrelly hours now)

They are not targeting foreigners entering/leaving thailand OR cambodia

@Paul ******

they mention 15 months which means they got the initial 90 day Non-O visa and then got the year extension (3+12=15 months) so you're correct, they're comin' up to get a new yearly extension (y)

You can just exit the country, go apply for the DTV visa at a thai consulate in another country via the online eVisa website, then come back on the DTV

You do not need to cancel your extension of stay based on marriage (that you got from the immigration office here) before you go get the DTV
