Hello! I have 1 question. I came from US on Nov. 15th 2024 with tourist exempt so I didn't apply for visa, but there are 2 conflicting statements when I did research some says I can stay 60 days & extend for another 30 some say it's only 30 days. Does anyone know what the correct information is? Thank you

TLDR : Answer Summary
If you entered Thailand under the visa exemption program from the US on November 15th, 2024, you can stay for 60 days with the possibility to extend for an additional 30 days at a local immigration office. This rule has changed, allowing for a 60-day stay instead of the previous 30 days. Always check your passport's entry stamp for the exact duration permitted.

 Older non updated websites that will still show 30 day visa exempt. Some still show “only 15 days if entering via a land border”. That stopped in 2016.

Since July 15th entering visa exempt was changed from 30 days on entry to 60 days on entry.

You are allowed one extension of 30 days from a local immigration office before you’d have to leave Thailand.
