Hello everyone ✨

Please need your help because I’m a little lost in Visa possibilites in my situation.

So my 60days Visa finished yesterday, I went to the immigration office and pay for the 30days. 

Now I can stay here until the 20th February. 

My goal is to find the best visa to stay until my Flight back home on the 24th of March.

Dont want to leave the country because I take painting lessons here and dont want to lose time ( of course unless no choices ). 

Someone can help me please and advice me for the best 🙏🏻 it will be wonderful ! 

Have a Nice day ✨✨

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking advice on extending their stay in Thailand after their 60-day visa expiration. They have extended their stay by an additional 30 days and now want guidance on further options to remain in Thailand until their flight home on March 24. The comments suggest that the only viable option is to perform a 'border bounce'—leaving Thailand and quickly returning for a new entry stamp, allowing for another 60 days in the country. Several commenters provide additional insights on potential destinations for this border run.

😭😭 Thank you for your comment

I didn’t plan anything in fact so you’re not totally wrong but didn’t plan to like a city and want to stay much longer than expected. Is it called Life ?

Depends which province you are living. Go to Laos or Cambodia and stay a couple of days because your going to need to pay for a visa on arrival $40-50 to enter. If you are in the south go to Malaysia it's easy and free to enter. If you are in bkk fly to Vietnam its free. You are a tourist so will have no issues getting back into Thailand.

Vietnam isn't free for everyone, only a number of nationalities can enter visa exempt.

Yeah it's not helpful when the OP doesn't mention which passport they have. Looking at the girls profile she seems to be French 👍

Agree with Eric, just use a landborder transport company and they will bounce you and get you another 60 days visa exemption within some hours at a fair price.

You don't have another option, you already used the extension and there really is only one.

If this was your first entry in a while then a second consecutive one will usually be fine.

Your only option is to leave and return to get a new entry stamp. You cannot apply for another extension as you already got the 1 you are allowed. You don't have enough time to apply for a different type of visa.
