I inform European citizens who have heard the news of the automatic extension of tourist visa to 60 days that as of today the Thai Embassy in Rome is not aware of any initiative defined by the government for the automatic extension of the visa so the procedure is the same as followed years ago . For a stay of more than 30 days, you need to apply for a visa at the embassy or go to the tourist police once you have arrived in Thailand and extend your visa.

Comunico ai cittadini europei che hanno appreso la notizia dell’estensione automatica del visto turistico a 60 giorni che in data odierna l’ambasciata Thailandese a Roma non è a conoscenza di alcuna iniziativa definita dal governo per il prolungamento automatico del visto quindi la procedura è la stessa che si seguiva anni fa . Per una permanenza superiore ai 30 giorni bisogna chiedere il visto in ambasciata oppure recarsi una volta arrivata in territorio Thailandese presso la polizia turistica ed estendere il visto.
TLDR : Answer Summary
As of now, the Thai Embassy in Rome is not aware of any government initiatives regarding an automatic extension of the tourist visa to 60 days. Travelers wishing to stay longer than 30 days must apply for a visa at the embassy or extend their visa with the tourist police in Thailand. There is also ongoing discussion about increasing the visa-exempt entry duration to 60 days, but this change has not yet been implemented.
