Can I extend my 45-day tourist visa in Thailand for an additional 30 days the day after I arrive?
Hello. If I just entered Thailand on a 45 day tourist can I go to immigration office and have it extended 30 days the next day?
Answer summary
Yes, you can extend your 45-day tourist visa by an additional 30 days at an immigration office in Thailand. The specific rules vary by location; for example, in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Phuket, you can apply for the extension when you still have 45 days or less remaining. However, in places like Koh Samui and Jomtien, you typically need to wait until you have only 3 or 4 days left. It's advisable to check with your local immigration office regarding their requirements.

In my experience they don’t like when you come too early. They made an exception in phuket when i told them that I’ll travel to pak chong and the korat immigration is hard to find 🙏

Most ask for 30 days remaining, some including jontiem will only do it when 3 or 4 days remaining

You should have applied for a 90-day visa that makes it a lot easier. You can do that before you travel My wife did it for me She is Thai

@Albert *******
You got a 90 days visa because you're married to a Thai national, there's no visa that allows a tourist to stay 90 days.Craig **********
OP@Steve ******
I used to get a 60 day in my home country and then when I arrived in Thailand would extend it another 30. Not sure if this option is still availableSteve *******
@James ******
It's still an option but it's only a 60 days tourist visaAlbert ********
@Steve ******
I believe it's called a non immigrant visa.Steve *******
@Albert *******
Yes, Non Immigrant O visaGraham ******
@Albert *******
A Tourist Visa is a 60 days on entry so you still need to extend it to get to 90 days. The OP probably does not qualify for a Non-O which gives 90 days on entry.Albert ********
I applied for a 90 day visa before I flew in.

@Albert *******
Visa exempt entry is 45 days (currently) and a Tourist Visa is valid for 90 days but but get stamped in for 60 days. To get stamped in for 90 days you'd need a Non-O Visa or similar, the maximum tourist entry stamp is 60 days.Albert ********
@Graham *****
I thought it was 45 days for tourists.

Depends where you are.
Most offices allow you to go when you have 30 days or less left.
Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Phuket allow you to go when you have 45 days or less left.
Koh Samui and Jomtien only allow you to go on your last week.

In Chiang Mai, and well it's a 45 day visa so you are saying yes? Go?Brandon ************
@James ******
you're required to have a TM30 to request an extension in ChiangMai so make sure you get proof of TM30 from your hotel or landlord.Graham ******
@Stephen ******************
A TM30 can be filed online or in person at your Immigration Office. The fact they have never done it previously wasn't because they didn't have to (they should, within 24 hours is the law) but the fact that you only stayed for 2 weeks so didn't require the services of your Immigration Office.

@Graham *****
I will be staying with family and they have never had to provide one previously as I had only traveled for 2 weeks - can they download it or get it from immigration office Thank you 👍

@Stephen ******************
From your landlord or your hotelStephen *******************
@Brandon ***********
this TM 30 form where do you get it as I’m coming on a 60 day TR visa and want to get an extra 30 days 🙏Brandon ************
@James ******
then you should be good to go.Craig **********
