Hi People.. bit confused about the new 60 days visa. Being Australian we hold a passport to enter Thailand

For 30 days and can get 30 day extension. Do I  have to apply for the 60 days visa separately so I can get a 60 day extension . Or has the 

Passport been extended to 60 days and can I get an extension and how extension...

Thanks for all information

Answer summary

Australians can enter Thailand on a visa-exempt basis for 60 days and can obtain a one-time 30-day extension at a local immigration office. No separate 60-day visa application is required, and extensions are only available for tourism purposes.

You are talking about visa-exempt entry for free when you enter on your Australian passport without any pre-purchased visa.

Currently, visa-exempt entry is for 60 days upon entry and is eligible for one 30-day tourism extension.

You can apply for ONE 30-day tourism extension when you enter on a visa-exempt or an actual tourist visa.

There is no 60-day extension based on tourism purposes regardless you enter on a visa-exempt or a tourist visa.

You will go to the local immigration office after about one month from entry to Thailand to apply for a tourism extension.

So after 60 days can apply for extra 30

After that must leave and reenter upon reentry does that mean another 60 then 30 days
