Extend visa exempt entry - only 30 days right?

[50BahtLeo]

I've extended non-o entries before for 60 days based on marriage but reading older threads here my understanding is a visa-exempt entry (which I currently entered on as non-o visa has expired) can only be extended for 30 days.

 

Is this correct?

[KhunBENQ]

Correct. 30 days.

And only once of course.

Apply about a week before expiry.

[elviajero]

Not correct. You can extend a 30 day visa exempt entry by 60 days to visit your wife.

Thanks folks - was hoping a 60 day extension was possible based on marriage, i.e. there would be no distinction between the type of entry I had. I'll head to CW next week and get it sorted

Any type of entry can be extended for 60 days to visit your Thai wife or child.

Chaeng Wattana immigration will even do the 60 day extension after you have already extended a visa exempt or tourist visa entry for 30 days
