TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquired about extending their 60-day visa after returning from a holiday in Europe, specifically for the purpose of visiting family. In response, community members clarified that if the individual entered Thailand on a tourist visa or visa exemption, they typically must first apply for a 30-day extension before considering a 60-day 'visiting Thai family' extension. This latter extension requires having a Thai child or spouse present at immigration. It was mentioned that some immigration offices may not allow the family extension unless the tourist extension has been utilized first.

I don't know what going to Europe has to do with anything. This group has nothing to do with entering Europe or getting extensions in Europe.

If you entered Thailand as a tourist (tourist visa or visa exempt) most immigration offices will require you to apply for the 30 day extension before anything else.

After that, if you have a Thai child or Thai spouse and they can go to immigration with you, you may be able to apply for the 60 day "visiting Thai family" extension. Most offices will start this the day you apply and it will not be added to the end of your existing staying, since it's for a different reason than your current stamp.
