If I wanted to extend my time in Thailand for more than 30 days, would this be possible to do in Thailand? Or do I need to apply for a tourist visa before I arrive?

Answer summary

Yes, you can extend your stay in Thailand beyond 30 days if you enter on a visa exemption. This can be done at an immigration office for a fee of 1,900 baht, allowing you to extend for an additional 30 days. Alternatively, if you knew ahead of time that you wanted to stay longer, it may be more convenient to apply for a tourist visa (TR60) before arriving, which can give you a total of 90 days stay when combined with the extension.

If you know you want to stay longer than 30 days already then you may as well get a tourist visa and save yourself a trip to immigration. It's e-visas now so you don't even have to worry about sending your passport off. I think the cost is cheaper as well, especially when you factor in travel to immigration

unfortunately not e-visa for everyone. I am British, have lived in Malaysia for 10 years and the checklist for application for tourist visa states I have to apply through Thai Embassy or Consulate .

If you enter on 30 days visa exempt you can extend this for 30 days at immigration office for 60 days stay. Or get TR60 visa before you go to Thailand and can extend also for 30 days giving you 90 days stay

If you arrive on a visa exemption then you can extend once, for 1,900 baht, for 30 days.
