A friend of mine from Australia called me today. He told me he wants to come to Thailand and stay ca. 90 days. Can he renew/extend a 60-day tourist visa in Thailand without leaving the country?

TLDR : Answer Summary
A friend from Australia is considering visiting Thailand and wants to know if he can extend a 60-day tourist visa to stay for 90 days without exiting the country. According to a response, he can enter Thailand with a Single Entry Tourist Visa, which allows for a 60-day stay. After this period, he is eligible to apply for a 30-day extension at a local immigration office while in Thailand, enabling him to stay a total of 90 days.

He applies and gets a Single Entry Tourist Visa before he flies to Thailand. He will be stamped for 60 days at passport control on his arrival to Thailand. This entry stamp is eligible for 30 days tourism extension at the local immigration office once he is in Thailand. Remember, the arrival date is day 1. He can stay 90 days and 89 nights total and straight as a tourist.
