Answer summary
An Italian citizen planning to stay in Thailand for 34 days might need to apply for a tourist visa, as the standard entry without a visa allows only up to 30 days. To avoid complications like fines or potential blacklisting, it's advisable to either get a 60-day tourist visa beforehand or apply for an extension while in Thailand. Immediate application for a visa online via the Thai embassy's e-visa system is recommended to ensure sufficient processing time.

people dont get a blacklist for your first 4 days overstay. A fine yes, but no stamp.

Thats true *if* you surrender at immigration at an airport (and the overstay is under 90 days).However, if you are arrested or questioned by officials, and it is discovered that you are on an overstay of *any* length, then you can and will face a 5 year blacklist.
Usually this applied only to people arrested for, say, some stupid drunk shit.
However, there have been people subjected to spot checks (on Samui, for example), and then getting a ban for just a 1 day overstay.

Indeed. Can happen if you're traveling at night in a border area close to the Burmese border and by night I mean anytime after dark so even just shortly after 7pm. If you don't speak Thai, they'll insist on seeing your passport and can detain you for even a 1 day overstay.

Get the 60 day TV, super easy via e-visa, approved in a few days and saves the hassle of extending when In Thailand

Get a Tourist Visa.

I think it will be cheaper to get a 60 day visa as it's 1900 baht for a 30 day extension and you don't want a 4 day overstay

@Brown *******
exactly this. Heck, even if I am there just for 2 weeks I get the 60 days. Things change and is always good to have extra days in your back pocket with the hassle or extra expense of extensions.John **********
You can either apply for a tourist visa before you come or go to an immigration office inside Thailand to extend your stay.

OP@John *********
so i can come without visa and then get the extension in the country?

@Giulio *****
you'll go to any immigration office while in Thailand, 10 days before your exemption stamp (30 days) expires, and you get there an extension (additional 30 days) at a price of 1900 bahtJohn **********
@Giulio *****
yes

The Thai embassy in Italy has adopted the evisa system which means everything is done online and your visa is sent to you by email.
You should have plenty of time to get it if you apply immediately.
If you don't apply, you need to check with your airline to see if they will let you board your flight without proof that you'll be leaving Thailand within 30 days.
You'll also need to spend between 2-6 hours of your trip, plus travel time, at an immigration office applying for a 30 day extension of your visa exempt entry.
