wow calm down princess

@Brandon ***********

wow what / where is that amazing school where you learned basic Thai in one month. 😄 they will put all competition out of business.

@Derrick *******

yes you can, 30 days extension for 1900 baht at the immigration office.

@Jared *********

yea with an option of 30 day extension so 75 days in total

@Derrick *******

no worries, if you read my other comment you will be fine. It sucks you didn’t get your tourist visa but as an American you are eligible for the visa exemption on arrival. You can get on your flight without a problem. Do make sure your passport is at least valid for another 6 months though.

@Cliff ********

if he leaves tomorrow no use in starting the application again. Today is a Thai holiday so they won’t see it until tomorrow.

He should just go for the visa exemption on arrival.

I believe you are American with an American passport? Then you don’t need a tourist visa to enter Thailand. You are eligible for a visa exemption on arrival. This will give you a 45 day visa exemption stamp on arrival at the airport which can be extended with another 30 days at the local immigration office here in Thailand. If you are planning to stay in Thailand 75 days or less, you will be fine.

@John ********

if you crash or hit someone and they have to go to the hospital will your insurance still cover it, since you’re obviously driving without a valid Thai license?

@Todd ********

exactly, you always extend first and then fly out if you need more time. Because then you can extend again. The others cant do basic math I guess.

@Trigger ********

the OP clearly states he wants to know how to extend without leaving the country.
