Hello, is it possible to get a 45-day extension of a visa exemption, or is it always only 30 days? The immigration office of application could be Krabi, Trang, Phuket or Bangkok.

TLDR : Answer Summary
It is not possible to obtain a 45-day extension for a visa exemption in Thailand; the maximum extension is 30 days only. If you have Thai family, a 60-day Visit Thai Family Extension may be available, but usually requires a prior 30-day extension. For longer stays, obtaining a 60-day tourist visa is recommended as it is more cost-effective and easier to manage.

When going to Thailand for 31 - 60 ( 90 )days, the 60 days touristvisa is the best option.

It is cheaper than visaexcempt + 30 days extension.

No need of a onward ticket ( 90 days 1 onward ), if returnticket within 60 days.

It is easier to apply from the comfort of your home.

Not wasting holiday time to find, go to and waiting at a immigration office ( 90 you would need that ).

No need to leave Thailand in up to 90 days.

Just one 30 day extension. If you have Thai family (wife or child) there is a 60 day Visit Thai Family Extension available but many offices require you to take the 30 day extension first.
