Can I extend my stay in Thailand by 60 days instead of the regular 30 days?

The possibility of extending a stay in Thailand by 60 days instead of the usual 30 days is contingent on specific circumstances. Typically, a 30-day extension is granted for both the 30-day visa exemption and the 60-day tourist visa. However, if you are married to a Thai national or have Thai children, you can request a 60-day extension under family visit rules. While some users reported experiences of being granted a 60-day extension erroneously, it is largely understood that this is not the standard procedure. Therefore, if you need a longer stay, ensure you have the appropriate criteria to qualify for the extended duration.
