Morning, quick question…I’m flying to Thailand next Tuesday with my Thai wife and our stay is for 29 days. So I know I don’t require a visa. But..we might decide to extend a bit longer when we’re there & change flight home. My question is, can I sort this out in Bangkok/Samut Prakan or do I need to get my visa from Thai Embassy UK in advance? Thanks!

Answer summary

You can extend your stay in Thailand for 30 days at a local immigration office for a fee of ฿1,900. If you need more time, you can also apply for an additional 60-day extension based on your marriage to a Thai citizen. It's not necessary to obtain any visa in advance from the Thai Embassy in the UK for your short stay and potential extensions.

You can get a 30 day tourist extension if you need more time.

After that you can also get a 60 day "visiting Thai family" extension based on your wife.

So basically this can be done over there? I don’t need to sort anything in advance with Thai embassy London? Many thanks!

You don't have to. But it will save you time if you do it in London.
