Is the Thailand on-arrival visa of 60 Days extendable?

Yes, Thailand’s 60-day visa-free visit (granted to many nationalities, including Indian passport holders as of 2025) can be extended once for an additional 30 days, making the total possible stay up to 90 days.

Details on Extension

The extension is available at any Thai immigration office before the expiration of your current stay.

The extension fee is typically 1,900 Thai Baht (about ₹1,500).

Required documents usually include your passport, a completed TM.7 extension application form, a recent passport photo, and the extension fee.

After extension, the maximum stay permitted on this entry is 90 days in total (original 60 days + 30 days extension).

Important Notes

All travellers must complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) online before travel.

In summary, the 60-day entry can be extended for a further 30 days at immigration, allowing a maximum single stay of 90 days in Thailand.

How WhatsApp’s Scanner Works

Users can access it in a chat by tapping the attachment (paperclip or “+”) icon, selecting “Document”, and then choosing “Scan Document”.
The document scanner is currently available to Android beta users and has already been rolled out on iOS for several months.

Users can access it in a chat by tapping the attachment (paperclip or “+”) icon, choosing ‘Document’, and then selecting ‘Scan Document’.

The feature offers two scanning modes:

Manual mode: Lets the user take photos at their preferred time for more control.

Automatic mode: Detects and captures document edges automatically, making the process faster.

Features and Options
After scanning, users can preview the image, add filters (Colour, Greyscale, Black & White, Photo), crop, rotate, or adjust edges for better clarity.

Scanned documents are converted into a PDF file on the device, which can then be shared instantly in individual or group chats.

Scanning multiple pages is supported, with all pages combined into a single PDF.

Privacy and Security
All scanning, processing, and conversion happen locally on-device using native APIs, ensuring privacy.

Shared scanned files are protected by WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption.

Rollout Status
The document scanner is being rolled out gradually and may initially be available only to beta testers before reaching all users.

It is a significant addition to WhatsApp’s productivity features, integrating scanning, editing, and instant sharing seamlessly.

This feature simplifies document management and sharing, eliminating the need for separate scanning apps and streamlining workflows for work, studies, and everyday tasks.

Useful Info for Travellers:
Today I checked at the IndiGo domestic counter whether a 5-litre ZamZam water bottle can be carried. The staff confirmed: “Yes, of course — it’s sacred water (pavitra paani) and allowed free of charge.”

This means, in addition to your regular 15 kg check-in baggage, you’re allowed to carry one 5-litre ZamZam water bottle on domestic flights within India.

And as the staff member said with a smile, “Sir, IndiGo is a good airline.” 😊
