Last week my life companion and I applied and was granted a 6-month multi-entry visa in New York City. From what I understood on the Thai Consulate Immigration website the more expensive Visa which cost me $200 each and would cover a period of 6 months. The only reason I applied for the multi-entry visa was to get away for the winter and also because we didnt want the hassle of visa runs and trips to the immigration office in Thailand. We are also planning on doing short trips around south Asia (Bali, Vietnam, Lao, Cambodia, Singapore HK) and wanted to just leave our things at the hotel in Thailand while visiting other neighboring countries for a few days. The Thai consulate in NY stamped our passport with a tourist TR multiple visa. On arrival in Chaing Mai, this week immigration stamped my passport with a TR-60 with an entry date and valid until Jun 8th, 2019 giving me only 2 months stay now it looks like we will have to leave Thailand in 8 weeks. Had I known all this I would have just applied for a 2-month visa for $forty-five each and saved myself money and time. Anyway is there anything I could do at this point to get the full 6 months, do I need to check in at their immigration dept in Chaing Mai and try to extend it for an additional 4 months will this cost me extra, what exactly do I need to do? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
