Philippines Passport

Living in Bali (no Consulate here, only in Jakarta)

I want to stay in Thailand for 60-90 days

I am getting conflicting advice, what is the best way to go about it, please? What are the requirements? 

I saw somewhere that I can just enter with VOA (30 days) and apply for a Long Term Tourist Visa while I'm there in Thailand?

I also saw somewhere that I need to apply for a Tourist visa first.

Bit Confusing - Please help!

TLDR : Answer Summary

A Philippine passport holder living in Bali seeks guidance on how to stay in Thailand for 60-90 days amid conflicting advice. Options discussed include applying for a Single Entry Tourist Visa for 60 days, which can be extended for an additional 30 days, or entering Thailand visa-exempt for 30 days, which can also be extended once. The community emphasizes that tourist visas must be obtained before entering Thailand and highlights the need for proof of accommodation, onward travel, and funds.

Your choices to stay in Thailand for 90days could be:

1: Get a Single Entry Tourist Visa at the Royal Thai Embassy/Consulate (Jakarta, your home country, or wherever you want), which gives you 60 days on entry. You can extend it for 30 days once.

2: Enter on visa-exempt without getting a proper visa in advance gives you 30 days on entry. You can extend it for 30 days once. After 60 days, get out of Thailand (by land border or air) and enter again on visa-exempt once more for 30 days.

I like the sound of option 2 so that I can get 120 days total by doing a quick run outside thailand after 60days right? What are the exact documents required for option 2?

Ok I have those requirements, where do I go to renew an additional 60 days on top of my 30 days visa exempt?

, as I wrote, you can apply for 30 days tourism extension ONCE per entry. You cannot apply for an "additional 60 days".

You will go to the local immigration office where you stay when you want to apply for an extension.

, For entry to Thailand, You better have three-proofs-of (you may or may not be asked to show at the immigration):

Accommodation in Thailand (at least for the first several nights), onward travel within

*****

days, funds of 20,000 THB or equivalent in cash.

Also, you may want to check with your air carrier if they let you board with the outbound ticket 60 days after or without a ticket when you don't have a valid visa to Thailand. (for further detail, ask your air carrier)

If you only want 60 days in total, you can go visa free and extend for another 30 days.

There is no possible way to get a tourist visa inside Thailand, tourist visas must be obtained outside the country.

Easiest option to stay maximum 90 days is to apply before you make your way to Thailand at the Thai Embassy for a Single Entry Tourist Visa. This visa will give you 60 days of stay on entry and can be extended once with another 30 days based on tourism.
