Hi! Are here any German nationals or nationals of other countries with a visa exemption for 30 days who have applied for an extension of stay for another 30 days? I heard it is possible and you have to go to the local immigration bureau. On the Thai website however I can only find which documents are necessary but not where to go exactly and how long it takes. Any experience with that here?

Grateful for all hints!

TLDR : Answer Summary
German nationals and citizens from 52 countries can enter Thailand without a visa for 30 days, and they can extend their stay for an additional 30 days by visiting the local immigration bureau. The extension costs 1,900 baht. It's recommended to check the exact location of the immigration office relevant to where you stay and to bring the necessary documents for the extension.

This is the graphic for the 30 days extension....if you enter Visa exempt or with a tourist visa.

people from 52 countries (germany included) can show up here without having bought a visa from the thai consulate before they came here, get stamped in on what's called a 30 day visa exempt entry and then get ONE 30 day extension on that at the immigration office that serves the area where they stay in thailand for 1900baht.

Where ARE you in thailand?
