Hi Everyone new to this group so thank you and please be gentle 🤣

 I'm from Australia and we get 30 day visa exemption however my question is:

If I decide to stay a bit longer while there what length of days can I request to extend by 15, 30 or 60?  There is so many different suggestions thought I would ask the experts in this group. 

Thanks for being gentle and look forward to responses 😀

Answer summary

The post discusses the options for extending a 30-day visa exemption for Australian travelers in Thailand. It is confirmed that you can extend your 30-day visa exempt stamp for an additional 30 days at a local immigration office for a fee of 1,900 baht. This extension is allowed only once. For those planning longer stays, applying for a 60-day tourist visa before arriving in Thailand may be more cost-effective. The conversation also touches on the need to consider future plans if needing more time.

if you will likely stay longer than 30 days and are still in Australia consider getting a 60 day tourist visa. It's AU$60 so a bit cheaper than extending it in Thailand. Depending on where you live you will most likely need to mail your application to Canberra but I've found the turn around to be very fast (they usually send it back a day or so after they receive it). If you need more than 60 days you can get a 30 day extension when in Thailand.

You can extend your 30 day visa exempt stamp for another 30 days at your local immigration office, will cost you 1,900 baht for the privilege. But it is a once off on your current 30 day visa exempt stamp.
