Went today to extend visa exempt stamp & your instructions were perfect. As well, the ladies working there couldnt have been nicer. Only problem was to find an actual entrance to the place that wasnt locked up at 8:30! Finally got in & with the help of a lift, I ended up where I should have been. Only took about 75 minutes from beginning to end. Thanks again Wayne; you saved me a lot of grief!

Just a small technicality but as an Aussie you are stamped in visa exempt for 30 days, meaning you don't have a visa. Visas are applied for outside of Thailand at an embassy or consulate before travelling. Very helpful video just the same. Enjoying your adventures and keep up the good work, regards from Isaan

Great video ! So... 1) I have to take a round-ticket within those 30 days (show proof of leaving the country) 2) Once in Thailand ask for an extended stay of 30 days* 3) if accepted, I can cancel my return and book a new flight out of the country within the 30 extra days. *At what point exactly can I ask for the 30 days extension ? Starting from the first day, during the 30 days or after ? thank you for explaining the procedure cause I'm lost.
@wayneosadventures
7 ай бұрын
I didn't even have to show a round ticket. I went on a one way every time. When you arrive you have 30 days. You can pay 1900 baht and extend that for another 30. After that you need to leave Thailand and come back. You'll then get another 30 that can be extended again for 1900. You can leave and come back unlimited times via air but only 2 times per calendar year over sea/land. You can get the extension any time in your 30 day period. One time I got it on the 2nd day and another time I done it on the last day.
