Can my South African friend do a border run to extend her stay in Thailand on a visa exemption?

Ian **********

Unless she has a history of using a lot of visa-exempt entries she should be fine doing a border bounce. Rather than flying she could use an agency to take her to a land border. The agencies guarantee re-entry without problems.

What should I do after my initial 60-day visa on arrival in Thailand?

Ian **********

That's a multi entry tourist visa METV. It last for 6 months but if you time your border bounces you can get nearly 9 months. On your last entry there is nothing to stop you leaving and returning then getting a visa-exempt entry. They don't do a one year visa now.

Can my baby travel to Japan and return to Thailand without a Non-O visa?

Ian **********

You'll both need re-entry permits to keep your permission of stay valid. The baby will get a free 60-day visa-exempt entry. Children under 15 do not get fined for overstays should you have any problems in the future.

What do I need to extend my 60-day visa on arrival in Thailand for an additional 30 days?

Ian **********

Just book in a cheap hotel for one night before going to do your extension. You only have to take a printed copy of TM30 if you stay in private accommodation. The hotel will do your TM30 online so just take proof of your booking.
