Does my partner need to extend her stay in Thailand if she enters on her English passport?
My partner and me are going to Thailand for 3 months and I know I need to extend for another 30 days, however my partner who is from Thailand as a dual citizenship and is travelling on her English passport the question is will she also need to extend for another 30 days also
Answer summary
If your partner enters Thailand using her English passport, she is treated as a foreigner under immigration law and will need to extend her stay. However, if she enters on her Thai passport, she can apply for a longer 1-year extension instead of the standard 30-day extension. It is highly recommended that she uses her Thai passport upon entry to avoid complications.

My wife and I came in and she had to use her foreign passport. She has to leave again and re-enter with her Thai passport. Not a big deal can catch a flight out and enjoy a quick trip and come back

ALWAYS enter Thailand on the Thai passport.

Also you could apply for a 90 day non immigration visa then no need to extend 👍

She can board the plane using whatever passport the flight was booked under, but then use Thai passport to go through immigration. She also won't need to do a TDAC entering as a Thai.

She can travel on whatever passport she wants, but she should enter Thailand as a Thai citizen using her Thai passport.
If she enters Thailand using a foreign passport, then she is a foreigner as far as immigration law is concerned. The difference is that instead of the 30-day extension, she can apply for a 1-year Thai citizen extension.
