Can I extend my 60-day visa exempt stay in Thailand without leaving the country?

Hi if you travel to Thailand without a visa, on the 60-day European (visa) on arrival, is it possible to extend that in any way, without leaving the country? Maybe a 30-day extension at the visa office? thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
Travelers entering Thailand under the visa exempt entry can initially stay for 60 days. This can be extended once for an additional 30 days at a local immigration office for a fee of 1900 baht. It's important to note that this entry does not require a visa, and the situation may have specific conditions depending on the traveler's nationality.

There is no 60 day European (visa) on arrival ๐Ÿ™ I think you're talking about just showing up here and getting stamped in free stamp for 60 days (called a visa exempt entry).

Since July 15, 2024 people from 90+ countries get stamped in for 60 days visa exempt.

You can extend that one time for 30 days at the immigration office serving the area where you stay for 1900baht
