Please be informed that, effective 13 November 2025, the Immigration Bureau has introduced new regulations regarding visa extensions.
The key changes are as follows:
Visa extensions are now limited to two (2) times per calendar year.
The first extension grants an additional 30 days of stay.
The second extension grants an additional 7 days of stay.
Foreign nationals entering Thailand via land border checkpoints are not eligible for visa extensions.
Visa extensions will not be granted to individuals who depart and re-enter Thailand on the same day.
In addition to the new extension regulations, travellers should be aware that arrival checks will become significantly more intensive. Immigration officers will now review travel history in greater detail, and passengers with any prior issues or irregularities in their records may face a much higher risk of being denied entry into Thailand.
