If your BF is Thai and working in Philippines, just simply ask him to accompany you to the nearest Thai Embassy and provide them with the 13 digit Thai ID and house registration evidence, you may apply for a tourist visa to travel with him back to Thailand. If he is there you do not need any special invitations.

Hi Ann,

If your planning on staying in Thailand for 30 days or less than all you need is a ticket out of Thailand within 30 days and your passport. If you plan on staying longer than 30 days than you'll have to get a tourist visa. Hope this helps! hotbuthappy.com

No need for a tourist visa to stay up to 60 days. Since visa exempt entries can now be extended for 30 days at Thai Immigration in Thailand costs 1900 Baht. Changed in August when new police orders for immigration were issued.

Thanks for confirming what I thought I had read. Do you know where it can be found in writing? I am due to fly from the uk to Thailand in January for more than 30 days and would like to have a print off of it in case of any questions by the airline.

Looks like the OP is not going to report back on her experience. The Philippines are very protective of their single young females as so many have , unfortunately, been tricked into prostitution abroad. Unfortunately immigration officers are sometimes a bit over zealous and also deny legitimate travel.

Here is a link to the new police orders in both . Section 2.4 covers the Visa exempt extension. Here is the extract from the above orders:
2.4 In the case of tourism purposes:
Each permission shall be granted for no more than 30 days from the date on which the permitted period has lapsed.
The alien:
(1) Must have been granted a tourist visa (TOURIST) or exempted from applying for a visa. Each permission shall be granted for no more than 30 days as announced by the Ministry of Interior.
(2) Must not be of a nationality or type prescribed by the committee monitoring official proceedings of officers of the Immigration Bureau.

So no problem extending a visa exempt entry in Thailand  BUT can you enter Thailand in the first place?

As far as Thai imigration goes yes you can enter(see below).

BUT what about your airline since some may ask to see a return ticket or other confirmation of onward travel within the 30 day visa exempt period.Given that your return flight might well be 58 days after flying in you could in theory be refused boarding.

A check with your airline well before departure would seem to be a sound move.

This is what the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs says about visa exempt entries:

"Foreigners entering Thailand under the Tourist Visa Exemption category must possess adequate finances for the duration of stay in Thailand (i.e., cash 10,000 Baht per person and 20,000 Baht per family)."

Thai Immigration have also been known to ask for details of onward travel too.

Alternatvely why not apply for a . It gets you 60 days entry with no need to visit immigration to extend it(unless you want another 30 days). A single entry tourist visa(not extended) is cheaper than extending a visa exempt entry in Thailand.

It will also satisfy any airline questions regarding your stay.

Never done that wrote:

Tourist Visa before coming is easy and cheaper.



The 10.000 baht per person is not what Immigration ask for at the Air port, it is 20.000 baht per person.
I know after a few friends from back home come here on visa exempt last week, and they all have to show 20.000 baht per person, travel plan, hotel they book, ticket out of Thailand again. (inside the 30 days)

Thanks. The quote regarding money is taken from MFA web site here.
