Question
How can you extend your stay in Phuket if you’ve been there for more than 90 days?
Insider's Response
There are two ways to extend your stay in Thailand: visa or border run. A border run is a trip to the nearest country to get a new passport stamp and start a new visa-free period. This method is quite popular and easy to arrange. Special companies offer this service, making it convenient to leave and re-enter Thailand.
The second option is a visa. There are many types of visas with different conditions. Typically, visa applications are submitted in advance while still in your home country. This is a more planned and long-term approach.
