Answer summary
To extend your stay in Thailand from mid-July to mid-September, you'll need to be aware of your entry status: if you're entering with a tourist visa or visa-exempt. If you have a tourist visa, you'll be stamped in for 60 days or more; if visa-exempt, you'll initially receive 30 days. To extend your visa, you generally need your passport, two passport-size photos, and 1,900 THB. It's also important to ensure that your accommodation is properly registered (TM30) before application at the immigration office.

For a 90 day stay you will need a 60 day tourist visa (assuming visa exempt reverts to 30 days) plus a 30 day extension at the immigration office that serves your location inside Thailand. You'll also need to verify with your airline that is ok or whether you need a ticket out of Thailand within the initial 60 days

on a single entry tourist visa you would get stamped in for a 60-days stay permit, without the need to extend the stay. On a visa-exempt, you get stamped in for 30 days, you need to visit Immigration before the 30-days expire and apply for the 30 days extension which costs 1900 THB. Compared to the visa-exempt, to arrive on a 60-days tourist visa is the easier approach

Stephen Crane you need to be properly TM30 registered in your accommodation. You take your passport, two passport size pictures and 1900 Baht to Immigration. You fill out the form on Immigration.

let's hope they publish it soon, to take away the guessing and wondering. Mid-July? How can you plan a holiday not knowing what to expect? His best option still is the 60-days tourist visa

Stephen Crane right. But there is more than one way.

If you get a tourist visa, you don’t have to worry about only getting 30 days.

How many days are your entire trip? Under or over 60?

Extension for ?

Are you coming visa exempt?

If so, it depends what happens before you arrive. The 60 day will likely be 30. Then get 30 day extension for 60.

You don’t need much once here. Pay the fee. Tell them where you’re staying and show them you’re leaving.

Or get a visa for 90 days from home before you go.
