Hi I am on the W30 visa for thirty days just arrived yesterday. I have read others posts and most have applied for 60 day visa before entering and just extend it. What are my options if I want to stay for 90 days? Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user, on a W30 visa that allows for a 30-day stay in Thailand, inquires about options to extend their stay to 90 days. Responses suggest that if the user entered Thailand with a Visa Exempt Stamp, they can extend their stay for an additional 30 days at a local immigration office for a fee. Alternatively, the user could leave Thailand and re-enter to receive a new Visa Exempt Stamp or apply for a Single Entry Tourist Visa from a Thai consulate abroad, which grants 60 days upon entry with the possibility of extending for another 30 days.

you can extend your 30 day visa exempt stamp by 30 more days for 1900baht at the immigration office

OR

You can go to another country and get a 60 day tourist visa from a thai consulate for 1000baht

But only twice in one calendar year.

another option for you would be to get the 30 day extension on this visa exempt stamp, and when that is running out do a "border-bounce" <- go to the border, stamp out of thailand, stamp in&out of another country, then back into thailand to get another 30 day visa exempt entry stamp. If you needed to you could extend that one 30 more days at the immigration office too ;)

No idea what a W30 visa is, i hope you mean you entered Thailand without a visa and got a Visa Exempt Stamp admitted to stay for 30 days. If I'm correct, before the end date you extend at local Immigration with another 30 days after that do a border bounce for a new Visa Exempt stamp. Or just visit a Thai Consulate or Embassy in one of the neighbor countries and apply for a Single Entry Tourist Visa what gives you 60 days on entry with possible one extension of 30 days.
