Hi there. I am coming in from Durban South Africa. Can you get a 30 day extension on the visa exemption from within Thailand or am I going to have to do a visa run after 30 days to apply for tourist visa?

Thanks

Tam

TLDR : Answer Summary

You can get a 30-day extension on the visa exemption while in Thailand by visiting a local Immigration Office. This option allows you to extend your stay without the need to do a visa run, provided you follow the necessary procedures.

If u come with a 60 day visa . U get a extension in Thailand. Plenty placed to get u 30 day extension . Even if u come with 30 day holiday .no visa required . U can get a 30 day extension on that.
