The Special Tourist Visa was introduced in the time of Covid to help improve Thailand's tourist situation. It was always a temporary program that ran for 2 years and allowed recipients to stay in Thailand for up to 9 months without leaving.
Since it was a temporary program, the visa has now ended and an official notice is posted on the Thai EVisa website.
The standard tourist visa that allows you to stay in Thailand for up to 60 days at a time with a 30 day extension is still available and you can use that to stay up to 90 days at a time.
Otherwise, you do have to look towards some kind of long term visa.
Thailand has started to move towards more premium visas such as the Elite Visa and the new Long Term Resident visa. Staying for a shorter time really means a limited 90 day period.
If you do want to stay longer, we suggest you book a consultation with us to explore what your options are and what the costs might be.
"I could not be any happier with Numfhon and the team at Thai Kru. Once I meet with them I knew they were the right choice. They told me the steps needed to be done to get my retirement visa, told me the price, no hidden fees. They helped me get everything I needed, they did all the paperwork, took me everywhere I needed to go, set up apps on my phone. Got my Visa in a couple of days, could not have been easier, money well spent. I consider Numfhon and the team my two good friends."
"I’m grateful for your company holding my hand and literally walking me through the entire process. I wouldn’t have been able to get this done as quickly and efficiently without your assistance. Thank you!!"
"I just want to share with others whom are considering using them, that Thai Kru is an excellent service. They helped me with my STV visa. They helped me every step of the way. This was during a time where it was quite complex getting any visa in Thailand. During the application process, they were excellent especially regarding answering emails quickly and clearly. If there were any issues regarding the requirements I provided, they would inform me and help correct the issue. They had what seemed to be a perfectionist approach. It was very comforting. Everything went really well and it was hassle free. I also had them help me with my subsequent 90 day extension/report. That also went very well and hassle free. There’s no way I could have managed doing all of these processes on my own this smoothly. I’m very grateful and I continue to use there service till this day for my visa purposes in Thailand. I highly recommend them."
