Can an Australian extend their tourist visa in Thailand to 60 or 90 days?
Hi all. I’m Australian is there any problem extending my tourist visa to 60 or 90 days
Answer summary
An Australian traveling on a tourist visa can initially stay for 60 days, which might be extendable for an additional 30 days for a fee of ฿1900. If they have entered Thailand under the visa exemption rule, they also qualify for the 60-day stay with a possible 30-day extension. To extend, a visit to the local immigration office is required unless they're applying for the 30-day extension, which necessitates ensuring proper address registration (TM.30). The discussion also emphasizes checking the passport stamp for confirmation of stay duration.

If you have a tourist visa, you can stay for 60 days or extend it for another 30 days. If you just arrive with your passport, you will receive a visa-exempt stamp that will allow you to stay for 60 days or extend the stamp for another 30 days.Toni ********

thank youJan ******************

You don’t need to visit the immigration before you’ll apply for 30 days extension if want. Just be sure you’ve got a TM.30 address registration. This is the hotel or landlords responsibility.Jan ******************
If you’re on the old 30 days visa exemption (before July 15th) you only can extend with additional 30 days at 1900 baht at your local immigration as explained. You’ll need to do a border run to get the new 60 days visa exemption.

on tuesday you will not receive a Tourist Visa. You will get a stamp that says "admitted until" and a date 60 days away from the date of entry. It's called "Visa Exempt Entry". You can extend these 60 days ONCE only, on Immigration for 1900.- THB for 30 more days on top of the 60 days. You don't lose any day when you visit Immigration earlier but up from 30 days before your 60-days stay permit expires, to apply for the extensionJan ******************
@Toni *******
Yes since 15th July, you get 60 days visa exemption instead of the old 30 days and still can do a 30 days local extension. So 90 days without visa if you wish.Toni ********
OP@Jan *****************
Ok so it has officially changed to 60 not 30 as beforeI’m just was confused
As the website now says 60 days and I’ve only ever known 30 days
Jan ******************
@Toni *******
Then you get a 60 days free stamp upon entry which can be extended with additional 30 days at your local immigration.

In April before the 60-day visa exemption I had a 30 visa exemption from BKK. At Hue Hin Blupoint Mall (no"e") lower level I rolled up my Passport only, an application for an extension and Bt1,900 plus and a receipt from my hotel saying I was paid up and lived there (my hotel is used to this). All done at Immigration in 1 hour and a big smile from the very lovely Thai girl...no problems. No separate passport pic under 6 months was required. I'll be going again on the 2-month visa exempt soon.

Tourist Visa is already 60 days. You can extend a further 30 days

OP@Jim *******
Thankyou I thought It was 30 daysGreg ***********
@Toni *******
a Single Entry Tourist Visa has always allowed a 60-days stay permitJim ********
@Toni *******
Tourist Visa is 60 daysJim ********
@Greg **********
Agreed. He also said extend to 60 or 90. A bit confusing. I'm sure he'll work it out!Greg ***********
@Jim *******
he sounds a bit confused. says he has a tourist visa and will fly to Thailand by tuesday. And his question is if he can extend the "tourist visa" to 60 days. Which is strange because a "tourist visa" already gives him 60 days. And he posts a picture of the new 60-days visa exempt measures. So I guess he calls the "visa-exempt entry" tourist visa . . . the confusion is complete!😄Jim ********
@Greg **********
Yeah I know, but he said tourist visaGreg ***********
@Jim *******
and Visa Exempt Entry also is 60 days, and can be extended for 30 more daysActivity
