What Are the Best Options for Extending a 30-Day Tourist Visa in Thailand?

@Kween *********************

There are 3 things you can do to stay longer

1 - GO to the immigration office that serves the area where you stay and get a 30 day extension on the current stamp you have for 1900baht.

2 - GO to a border, stamp out of thailand, stamp in&out of another country and then stamp back in to thailand to get a NEW 30 day visa exempt entry stamp

3 - GO to a thai consulate in another country and BUY a single entry tourist visa so when you come back in to thailand you get stamped in for 60 days.

Okay,you can get a 30 day extension on your 30 day visa exempt entry stamp at the immigration office for 1900baht

OR

There are two choices

Go to a border, stamp out of thailand, stamp in and out of another country, turn around and stamp back in to thailand to get a 30 day visa exempt entry

OR

Go to a thai consulate in another country and BUY a 60 day tourist visa

You need to make an appointment at the thai consulate in VIentiane to apply for a visa there. You need to show proof of funds (a bank account with at least 20K baht or the equivalent in it) proof of onward travel in 60 - 90 days & sometimes proof of accommodation.

Means you have just an 30 stamp. As tourist arriving ?
