Can I get a 30-day exempt stamp on arrival in Thailand from the UK and extend it for another 30 days?
Good morning
I'm due to fly to Thailand next Wednesday on a return air ticket. Can I just check that coming from the UK I can get 30 day exempt stamp on arrival and then extend this sor another 30 days at the local immigration office?
Do I need any passport sized photos etc?
Cheers
Phil

Answer summary
Travelers from the UK can receive a 30-day exempt stamp upon arrival in Thailand and are eligible to extend their stay for an additional 30 days at the local immigration office. However, it's important to have a return or onward ticket to board the flight. Some immigration offices may have specific requirements, such as needing passport-sized photos for the extension application.

Yes but you'll need onward/return travel within 30 days to board your flight.

You might want to check your airline policy as they might require you to show a ticket out of Thailand within 30 days before they'll let you board your flight.
You can apply for a 30 day extension at your local immortal office. Requirements vary by office but these are the most common.
