 I stay for two months twice a year. A bank account would be very handy. But, it’s not available.

Can I get a 60-day visa exemption upon arrival in Thailand, extend it, and then do a border run to Laos or fly to Bali to get more visa days?
Ralph *******
Maybe. There are no guarantees. Have a ‘plan B’ just in case.

That ‘free’ stamp is not guaranteed. They are at liberty to refuse entry. The 60 days is intended for tourism. If you are staying long term there are other visa options.
