Looking for some advice, please.

Am a UK citizen planning a 3 month (90 day) stay in Thailand.

I understand I should benefit from 60 day visa exempt stay on arrival and may then be allowed to extend for a further 30 days.

If so and in which case, when should I attend at the Immigration (or whatever) office for my bolt-on 30 days because, assuming the extension is granted, does the additional 30 day period commence on the day it is approved or is it counted from the last day of my 60 day visa exempt period?

For example, if I arrived on April 1st, what would be the last day in June beyond which I would be classed as having overstayed if I attended at the office, say, 3 days before my 60 day period was up?

The Time and Date website calculates that 90 days from 1st April would be 29th June (including both the 1st April and 29th June in its calculation).

Effectively, if intending to arrive on 1stApril, should I book a return flight for 29th June when booking my flights or would that mean I would have to apply for an extension on the very final day of my initial 60 day exemption?

What I don't want to happen is book my return date and find it causes an overstay I have to either pay a fine for (as well as receive a blot on my passport) or pay for an expensive flight adjustment.

Hope that’s clear enough but would welcome any questions so as to help clarify.

Many thanks.

Hi! We’re planning to stay 90 days in Thailand. We will have 60 days on arrival, can we ask for the 30day extension right away after arrival or we need to wait a certain number of days to go to the immigration office?

Good evening.

I want to apply for a COVID visa extension and declare 90 day stay. Problem is the main immigration office for Bangkok has Google reviews stating the office has moved to a temporary location. Could someone who has been to get a visa extension in the last 2 weeks please tell me where I need to go?

Thank you so much

Considering getting the METV if I return in January. It seems like I had 90 consecutive days in country last time or am I mistaken? Recent threads here say 60.

Previously the process was not online. Directions on the current application state that I might have to prove why I need to visit Thailand again inside of the 6 month duration - that I might only be granted the SETV and lose the difference in cost. Anyone have experience here?

And finally what’s the status of visas on arrival?(US citizen here) I’m seeing conflicting accounts on length of stay.

Thanks

Currently on a 1 year non-b with multiple entry, if I go on visa run to Ranong and still have 3 or 4 weeks left on my current visa, they will still give me 90 days right?

-Dutch passport

-First SETV which is stamped till dec 6 (ie without the 30 day extension)

-Previous visits all short yearly holidays on visa exemptions, last one a year ago

To obtain our SETV we booked a ticket to Luang Prabang after 58 days as proof of onward travel. We would like to stay up to 90 days and then move on, but we were not sure whether booking it around 90 days would be OK.

If we cannot reschedule the ticket and actually want to use it, is it likely that we can come back in on a visa exemption for the final 3-4 weeks? As this is our first SETV I think it should be no problem but I just want to check. We have no intention staying longer than 90 days and will probably only come back at the end of our trip (in June).

Thanks!

I thought.... (famous last words) that if I did a bounce a few days before my one year non-Imm b multi expired (on the 19th of Nov) I would ‘stretch’ another 90 days out of it.. I’ve had to bounce today as the stamp says but the immigration officer had a good ‘doodle’ on it and appears to have scuppered my futile optimism, thoughts?
