Single-Entry Tourist Visa

  • Validity: Usually valid for entering Thailand within 3 months from the date of issue.
  • Duration: Once you enter Thailand, you can stay for up to 60 days.
  • Extension: It’s possible to apply for an extension of stay for another 30 days at an immigration office in Thailand, making the total potential duration of stay up to 90 days.

Multiple-Entry Tourist Visa

  • Validity: Allows multiple entries into Thailand over a 6-month period from the date of issue.
  • Duration: Each entry allows a 60-day stay, meaning you can come and go as many times as you want during the 6-month validity, but each stay can’t exceed 60 days.
  • Extension: Like the Single-Entry Tourist Visa, each entry can potentially be extended for an additional 30 days at a Thai immigration office.
