Try to get your visa as close to the time you leave for Thailand. Issue date. 6 months after that you will see enter befor date. Do your 60 day bounces and time the last one to exit and return before the enter before date then go to immigration and extend 30 days. You will get almost 9 months. As soon as you stamp into Thailand that visa activates.

@Billy *******

as long as you enter Thailand before the enter before date. When immigration stamp you in that's day one.

You get 9 months out of that visa. Exit every 60 days just before enter before date exit and reenter and extend that. 2x Land crossing is visa exempt entry only.

Sorry your last 60 day's then extend that for 30 total 9 months

There is an enter before date when it's issued enter before then and you get your 60 days

I posted from personal experience I've done the same as the op a couple of times.

No problem. You have a visa so you don't need onwards flights. Just have 20k handy and all your marriage documents for 60 day extension.

Different rule for different area's some 30 day's or less some 14. Pattaya is 14 I think. Adim will know exactly.
