My husband and I are US citizens. We don't need a visa for 30-day stay in Thailand. Can we arrive in Thailand with our 30-day visa and while there extend it to 90 days?

TLDR : Answer Summary
US citizens do not require a visa for a 30-day stay in Thailand under the visa exemption rule. However, they can only extend this stay once for an additional 30 days, totaling 60 days. To stay longer than that, they must leave Thailand and re-enter.

US citizens qualify for visa exempt. Which means NO VISA at all. If you arrive before March 31st you will be stamped into Thailand visa exempt for 45 days. You can extend this ONE time for 30 days, giving you 75 days total. You would then need to leave and re-enter the country if you want more time.

no. You can walk across a land border stamp in to another country and then come straight back (except at the Poi Pet crossing where they make you stay overnight in Cambodia).
