How can I extend my stay in Thailand if I only have a visa exemption for 30 days?
Hi! Just wanna ask how I can extend my stay here in Thailand? I dont need a visa to come here and Im only allowed 30 days. Looking to extend more days
Answer summary
You can extend your stay in Thailand by applying for a 30-day extension at any immigration office. The cost is 1,900 THB, and it's advisable to apply no more than 12 days before your current stamp expires. Make sure to have your paperwork ready, including proof of where you are staying. If you want a longer stay, consider applying for a 60-day tourist visa from your home country, which can also be extended for an additional 30 days.

Get a 60 days tourist visa, apply from home ( thaievisa.go.th ), can be extented 30 days.
Cheaper than a extension,
no need for onward ticket within 30 days
No waste of holiday time on finding, go to, and waiting at a Immigration office.
Is the recommended way to do it by Thailand authorities

Don’t go too early, no more than 12 days before the stamp in your passport runs out. Make sure you have all your paperwork in order and go early, in Samui they opened at 08.30
