30 day visa extension ( 1 Month Extension )
One of the most common visa extensions is the 30 day visa extension in Pattaya, which effectively means that visitors can stay in Thailand for a month longer than originally planned. It is often preferable to border run as you will get the extra 15 days (if you did the border run at a land border) and a more suitable alternative if you have no plans to visit another country by air. This extension is available to the following groups:
- Anyone who entered Thailand on a 60-day visa or a Single Entry Tourist Visa, which was issued outside of Thailand
- Those who entered Thailand with a six-month visa or an alternative Multiple Entry Visa, which again was issued outside of Thailand
- People who entered Thailand with a visa exempt stamp or Visa on Arrival which generally lasts for 30 days and granted by the Immigration Department at the airport when you enter Thailand
