Hi there

I have a 1 year retirement visa which expires on the 14th of October. I will not be renewing my Thai retirement visa as I'm waiting for a 5 years Malaysian residence to be approved. Can I apply for a COVID extension of 60 days while I am waiting, and what kind of documents do I need to submit to immigration ? Thank you

Different immigration offices have different requirements, but all require the following:

1. Your passport and:

a. a copy of your data ("picture") page

b. a copy of your most recent visa (if you have one)

c. a copy of your most recent stamp

d. a copy of your departure card

2. [MAY NOT BE NEEDED FOR BANGKOK IMMIGRATION] A TM30, filed in the immigration office.

3. The forms (each immigration office may have different forms, and want to use their special forms)

4. [NOT ASKED AT BANGKOK IMMIGRATION] A letter from your embassy saying you can not return, OR a print out from your embassy website saying they don’t issue the letters, OR a print out of a letter from the embassy saying they don't issue those letters.

5. 2x passport pictures

6. 1,900 THB.

Different immigration offices have different policies. *SOME* may require:
