In Thailand, in particular on the island of Phuket, an innovative online visa extension system for foreign tourists has been introduced. According to VisaGuide.World, the Border Patrol Commissioner has announced that foreigners who are on the island on any of 12 types of visas can now apply for visa extensions online.

The introduction of the "E-Extension" system is aimed at optimizing the immigration process, making it more efficient and convenient for tourists. This service is already successfully functioning in various immigration offices of the country. Tourists can now use this service at the border service in Bangkok and immigration offices in Chonburi, Chiang Mai and Phuket - some of Thailand's most populated regions.

Thailand continues to develop tourism strongly, and the total number of tourists passing through Phuket Airport in December is expected to reach an impressive 350,000.
