Can I extend my 90-day stay in Thailand after entering with a Brazilian passport?
Hello everyone!!
I entered Thailand with my Brazilian passport and I am allowed to stay for 90 days.
Is there an extension I can apply to stay 30 days more? Or I need to go for a visa run?
Thank you kaaaa

You have permission to stay in Thailand 90 days under Tourist Visa Exemption Scheme. So, you are in Thailand now. You should better ask your immgration office if you can extend your stay without leaving the country. The decisions in some cases are not the same in all the immigration offices in Thailand (more than 80 offices).

it can't be extended at anyimmigration office. You have to leave the country and come back. Don't post wrong information.

You entered using visa waiver. This is not eligible for a tourist extension.

my dim recollection is that I often extended my visa exempt entry with a trip to Jomtien Immigration and payment of 1500 baht.

But what’s sure is that people on the bilateral agreement don’t get an extension but can do border runs without limitations and get a new visa free period.

visa waiver and visa exemption are not the same. It's also 1900฿

visa exempt and visa waiver are completely different

@David *********
they are quite obviously not the same, Brandon is right. Stop trying to argue for the sake of arguingBrandon ************
@David *********
they are NOT both visa exempt. Different things are written in the passport depending on how you enter. One is for visa exempt and another is for visa waiver. They have completely different rules surrounding each one when it comes to extensions, visa conversions, and other things. They are not the same thing.David **********
@Brandon ***********
yes, the chart explains how visa exempt status was achieved, either unilaterally or bilaterally. In both cases, the traveler has visa exempt status.Brandon ************
@David *********
look at the image above. It clearly shows a difference between visa exempt and bilateral agreement. One is visa exempt, the other is visa waiver. The image is from the MFA who is the actual authority.David **********

@David *********
that's an agency website not an official Thai website. I don't really understand what your point is regardless. Visa exempt is 30 days so someone who gets 90 days clearly isn't visa exempt.David **********

Google is not Thai immigration. Visa exempt is a unilateral agreement where Thailand has just offered a free 30 day entry stamp for anyone with a passport from certain countries.
Visa waiver is a bilateral agreement where the government of both countries have agreed to allow each other's citizens visa free entry for a specific time ranging from 30-90 days depending on the agreement.
