I did it with 2 night stay in KL but I think I was lucky. Its was my 4th consecutive visa exempt with extensions each time and a 2 month tourist visa prior. Before that I had been on covid visa extensions with 3 months away in between. Honestly I wouldn't recommend it. It was stressful. I got escalated to senior immigration and grilled for quite some time before finally allowed in after promising I'd leave on the flight I had already booked. This was Krabi airport.

No, no longer needed ???? enjoy your trip!

No nothing like that. I was also concerned it might be a problem, but they didn't even mention it in the end.

I can help, Brit here who applied in KL last September. I just provided an Airbnb booking receipt and got my visa next day.

Regarding appointment slots, I had no issues in September last year for tourist visa. I got next day to drop off the paperwork and following day to collect visa. Other visa types may have been a different story, I'm not sure.

CM you can apply up to 14 days prior to the end of your existing permission to stay. I'm sure it's the same at other offices too

Thanks, good to know. I think I have all the required paperwork ready.

Thanks. I'm near Nai Harn beach. Phuket Town would be better though in this occasion as there's other stuff we want to do in town. Is an appointment needed? Website is not clear

Quick question as in the title. Do I need an appointment at Phuket Town immigration if I'm extending a tourist visa? Thank you

I'm new to Phuket. Used to live in CM and got used to shopping at the local '20 baht' shops. I'm in Rawai but haven't found any. Are there any of these shops around here?

Thanks ubonjoe, that's what I thought exactly. And as far as I'm aware there are no long term visas available to me as a UK citizen outside of my home country and under 50. Even the METV is only available if I'm back in the UK I think, is that right?

I just got back from the Royal Thai Embassy in Kuala Lumpur. Picked up my 60 day tourist visa. However the lady said, because I've been in and out of Thailand many times, I should apply for a multiple entry visa from immigration. The only multiple entry visa I'm aware of is the METV which is only available (I believe) from my home country's embassy. I asked her to confirm she meant immigration inside Thailand and she said yes. Anybody know what type of visa she might be talking about?

Thank you for the reply both. That's good to know.

I strictly speaking have no occupation but I'm funded by current investment income and day trading. What would you recommend I enter as my occupation? Or should I enter my previous occupation?

Has anybody done this and can offer advice? I know we need a dog passport and health certificate (we will have soon). And I know we need an import permit, which we will arrange. But we're not sure for the rabies vaccine. There's mixed information on the internet and I think it depends on country. Does anybody know?
