Do I need a visa for a stay under 60 days in Bangkok, or can I extend my 30-day entry?
Will be in bangkok under 60days do i need visa or get 30day arrive extend 30day 1900bht
Answer summary
For a stay in Bangkok under 60 days, you can enter Thailand without a visa under the visa exemption rule, but this includes a 30-day allowance that can be extended for an additional 30 days at immigration for a fee of 1,900 THB. However, it's recommended to have proof of onward travel within those initial 30 days as airlines often request it. If you prefer a hassle-free experience, applying for a 60-day tourist visa before traveling could be advantageous, allowing you to skip immigration visits during your trip.

If you can't be bothered to look at the evisa website or use the search function on this group then you should stay at home as you clearly can't do anything for yourself.

I would apply for a 60 day tourist visa before traveling to Thailand. Saves you going to an immigration office while you are on holiday.

If that’s the case you should check with the airline if they will let you board the plane. Since you have plans to stay 55 days in Thailand and you entre on 30 day visa exemption.

MotivatedFrog4797 you can add a 30 day extension once there

Visa exemption plus 30 day extension is fine.
However, you must have a ticket booked for transport out of Thailand within the first 30 days. It can be a train or bus ticket to a neighbouring country, that you just chuck away. Airlines are very likely to ask for this proof and immigration may possibly.
The extension is not guaranteed; it’s at the discretion of the immigration officer. Have you considered what you will do if it’s refused?

Paul Franklin Because it’s NOT guaranteed, any more than entry into Thailand which can be denied even with a visa.

MotivatedFrog...they way you ask for help/advice is not very motivated.
For this kind of questioning, which completely lacks any manners, there can really only be one piece of advice: do you own research. Google, Gemini, ChatGPT all of them know the answer.

My guess is that English isn’t their first language so their request seems a little abrupt.
Steve******
Ralph Tyson mine neither. And this isn't an English correction group, I recently said that as well.
But nowadays there are so many translation apps and a simple "any help is appreciated" or "thanks" doesn't require extensive English knowledge.
I just find it inappropriate that one 'asks' others for advice and others invest their time in it, and then one doesn't even say 'thank you' at the end of the request.

You don't need to but it makes things easier and cheaper (no need for proof of onward travel within 30 days and no need to get a TM30 and go to Immigration (1, 2, 4 hours?) for an extension costing 1900b, more than the £30 for the 60 day visa (RTE London price)

Your airlines may want proof of exit under 30 days if no visa
Motivate*********
OPWayne Roberts airline under just under 60day return flight
Wayne *********
MotivatedFrog4797 so no visa the airline may ask for proof of exit before 30 days
Wayne *********
MotivatedFrog4797 If your going exempt i would suggest asking the airline your flying with if they will allow boarding for a 50 day trip without a visa
Wayne *********
MotivatedFrog4797 because if your refused entry they have to fly you back.
Motivate*********
OPWayne Roberts why refuse
Wayne *********
MotivatedFrog4797 you talking visa exempt stamp which is not visa on arrival and its 30 days and the airline may refuse boarding.
Wayne *********
MotivatedFrog4797 depends on your passport and how many days voa your passport gets you
