Visa renewal/extension depends on the type of visa you have and how you’ve entered the country. Below are some renewal/extension options you can choose.
A tourist visa allows you to stay in Thailand for 60 days (or multiples of 60 days when on a multiple entry visa). Each 60-day entry can be extended for a further 30 days.
If you have a multiple entry Tourist Visa and plan on using visa extensions to extend your stay, keep track of the expiration date of your visa, as you will not be able to use any remaining entries after it has expired.

Key Points:
- The visa can be renewed for one year, annually.
- Make sure to bring original copies of all required documents.
- Make sure you also obtain a re-entry permit, so when you leave and re-enter Thailand, your visa remains valid.
If you have a retirement visa, you can renew it annually for a period of a year as long as you continue to meet all of the requirements.
Besides your passport and passport-sized photo, you also need to provide proof of security deposit of at least 800,000 THB in a Thai bank. If you don’t have it, you can show proof of monthly income or pension of at least 65,000 THB per month or proof of a combined annual income and security deposit totalling at least 800,000 THB instead.
