Hello everyone, I want to go to Koh Samui for 6-9 months. Since I have Ukrainian citizenship, I can enter max for a month. How can it be extended on the spot?

Hello. You come for a month without a visa, extend it for the first time for another month. Then - a two-month extension on the covid stamp. It can be extended until it is banned. Each extension costs 1,900 baht (54usd). We have been here for the 8th month, so far everything is OK with the extension. As a last resort, you can also do a visa-run (departure to another country and return to Tai). Accommodation locally is cheaper than through booking/airbnb. You come, rent a bike room for a month (from 2500 baht), stay at a hotel, and go ahead to look for housing for a long time.
