ORIGINAL POSTER
Hello everyone, I'm on a 30 day tourist visa that expires on 14.06. I'd like to stay up till 3 months without having to leave the country. I'll be going to the immigration office on Monday 13.06. What is my best option? Can I still request them to extend with 60 days corona extension or should I opt for something else? Thank you!!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquired about options for extending their 30-day tourist visa, expiring on June 14, without leaving Thailand. Suggestions included extending the visa at a local immigration office, ensuring a TM30 form is filed for their address, and the possibility of applying for a 60-day COVID extension, which is subject to approval.

You can extend the current visa exempt on arrival you received for 30 days at your local Thai immigration office.

Be sure that you have a TM30 filed for your address in Thailand.

The 30 days will be added on to your current permission to stay date.

Beyond that will be a possibility to get the 60 days COVID extension. It's not guaranteed to be approved. It's up to the Thai immigration office.
