TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking advice on the documentation required to extend their son's tourist visa in Thailand by an additional 60 days. Comments from the community suggest that typically, tourist visa extensions are only 30 days unless it's a special COVID-related extension, which needs to be applied for before a certain date. Clarifications on the type of visa used for entry and any previous extensions received are also requested by other commenters.

ask your immigration office.

tourist visas are 30 days extensions not 60 days.

COVID extensions are 60 ..

But must apply before March 30.

Nonthaburi is hard core that you have proof you live/stay in their area (the TM30 receipt) so that and copies of the relevant pages in his passport, should do it

you said "by another 60 days" does that mean they already got one 60 day covid extension?

Did they already get their regular 30 day extension based on their 60 day tourist visa entry? AND where in thailand are they (as in what city)?

What visa did he use to enter on? And what is this 60 day extension of stay?

I was there on Thursday and asked if I could get the 60 day extension without first getting the 30 day since I only need 42 days. They said No I have to get 30 days first. So I have to go back in 2 weeks for a second extension

at most immigration offices, for people who entered tourist visas, you need to apply for a 30 day extension of stay based on tourism before being able to apply for a 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19.

Generally for the 30 day extension of stay based on tourism you will need:

Your passport and a copy of:

1. The data (picture) page

2. The visa (if one was acquired before entry)

3. The entry stamp

4. The departure card

A copy of the TM30 that was filed at the house/ hotel that the person is staying at

2x passport photos

1,900 THB fee

Different immigration offices have different policies, and I’m not sure what that immigration office requires.

there is no 90 day extension AND the only 60 day extension is the covid extension

unfortunately some immigration offices will not let you get the 60 day covid extension until you have gotten the regular 30 day extension FIRST.

All you can do is GO to the Nonthaburi immigration office and try for the 60 days but if they only say he can get the 30, take it..
