Hi,
I am allowed to stay 30-day without first obtaining a visa when I enter by air. Do you know how many times can I go to extend my stay? Can I do it twice without leaving the country?
thank you

      1. When entering without a visa, you get a 30-day permission to stay (most nationalities) whether entering by air or by land. However, when entering by land, only two visa exempt entries are allowed per calendar year. If you try for a third visa exempt entry by land in the same calendar year, you will be denied entry.
      2. When entering with a tourist visa, you receive an initial 60-day permission to stay. To get a visa, you must visit a town outside Thailand with a Thai embassy or consulate.
      3. Whether you enter visa exempt, or with a tourist visa, your initial permission to stay can be extended a single time for an additional 30 days, at an immigration office inside Thailand, on payment of 1,ninety0 baht.
      4. If you ask for a second extension of your permission to stay, your application is denied, but you are given seven days to leave the country.
