Extending visa free entry

[Epidemiologist Dave]

My son entered Thailand with a visa free entry to visit his son in Buriram. He intends to extend this for a further 30 days at immigration but needs a further 7 days before his return flight. Can he do this without doing an in/out border run?

i think he can extend for 60 days instead of 30 even on exempt to his visit son. i'm not 100% sure on that. UJ and the others will be able to confirm soon enough

That would be assuming his son is Thai. If he is then he could apply for a 60 day extension to visit him.

If not he could apply for another extension after the first one, pay 1900 baht and be granted 7 days to leave the country after the application is denied.

Many thanks Happy enough and Ubonjoe.
