TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is planning a two-month trip to Thailand in March and seeks advice regarding the 30-day entry stamp upon arrival. Several comments suggest that a 30-day extension can be obtained for 1900 baht at an immigration office. Others recommend applying for a tourist visa in advance, which allows for a 60-day stay, thereby avoiding the need for an extension later. The conversation highlights insights about the ease of obtaining the visa online and preparations needed for the immigration process.

It's actually cheaper for us in the UK (£30) to get the tourist visa plus like others have said your not messing about for a couple of days getting an extension for the visa exempt

Antony Gratton. An extension does not take "a couple of days". It's a straightforward process at the immigration office

how about getting all your necessary paperwork in order. Making sure you have the correct size passport photos before you head to immigration ? Your not talking down to some inexperienced numpty you know.

Check your nearest Royal Thai Embassy/consulate for detailed requirements.

If you are eligible for an e-visa, you will apply for one on this site.

it's not too bad. Get yourself some knowledge on resizing pictures as everything needs to be less than 3mb in size. Other than that it is easy

I’d apply for a tourist visa before you go and you get 60 days as mentioned above. That way you don’t have to mess around at the local immigration office while you’re here. Visa application is all online nowadays and don’t even need to send your passport to the embassy anymore.
