Sea-Hawks Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 A. I am allowed 30 days + a renewal stay of 30 extra days? Could I renew again for a second time for a total of 90 days? B. What is the maximum number of days i can be in Thailand over a 6 month period? …does that period reset if i were to fly outta tge country for a few days prior to returning?

boydeste Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 A. You can only extend the once, but things may be diffent in current times. B. You can stay as long as you like as long as you obtain the relevant visa mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My last one was a non imm O which gave me 90 days but that may be age related too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillearly Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 This company , Thai Visa Centre , was mentioned in a recent vlog I watched , I'm sure there are many similar companies that offer the same services, worth sending a message to see what they suggest, costs , and how much they charge for their assistance another one , Tik Tok Services , helped me when I wanted to open a Bank account ( I was only on a 30 day tourist visa and was rejected by three Banks I approached on my own .. ) they also provide assistance with Visas 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that depends on the Covid situation at the time and the restrictions in those places , at least with Education, you don't need to leave Thailand ... the vlogger I was watching was on a STV , he was concerned that it won't be renewed in Nov and his only option maybe to return home and then start the visa process again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KWA Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 There are also currently 60 day Covid extensions after you've used your 30 day regular extension. These will continue to be available until November some time I think, but this date could be extended again as it has been numerous times already. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CampariO Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Read somewhere about a proposal for a 9 month tourist visa (3 month, then can extend twice by 3 month each time). No idea when this will become real. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasseye Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 You are going to get several different opinions on this sort of matter seeking information in a forum. I am sure most well intentioned. I would recommend contacting Ben Hart (an American attorney in Bangkok, U.S. and Thai citizen - 14 years experience). I consider him to be the best resource for the most up to date and accurate information regarding obtaining proper guidance in how to proceed and what to expect. Things are changing constantly and IMO working with Ben will offer the best information out there, and will be well worth the small amount of dosh for "peace of mind". Best of luck to you ! https://legal.co.th/contact-us/ 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made a new headline due to just being extended for another year, although this agent doesn't seem to have noticed that fact yet. https://www.thailongstay.co.th/stv_visa.html 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be surprised if that happens and if it does there will still be hoops to jump through that make a headache seem preferable. It's only a few weeks away, so sit on your hands mate and see what happens. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
