TLDR : Answer Summary

You can apply for a Visa extension the day after staying at a hotel, but it hinges on the location in Thailand where you're applying. Note that Visa extensions are not free; the fee remains 1,900 THB even after December 1st. Different visa types may require various documentations and offer extensions for different durations.

Question 1 depends on location, where inside Thailand you want to apply for an Extension of Stay. Extension of Stay is not for free, even after 1st December the price stays 1.900 Thb. And be aware depending on your kind of visa there are different types of Extension of Stay, 30 days, 60 days, 90 days or 1 year and all need different type of documents to meet the requirements.

Bangkok asked me but I didn't end up doing it there as I was technically in a place called samut prakan by the airport in bang na. So I feel your pain

lots of wasted time there. But they did ask.

, and what type of extension were you getting in Bangkok that they asked for your rental agreement? They don't ask for anything when you get 30 day extensions on visa exempt or tourist visa entries at the bangkok immigration office.

Bangkok is well known as the Immigration Office who do not care your residence when you apply for an Extension of Stay on a Visa Exempt Entry or Tourist Visa. But also Chang Mai does not ask for Notification of Stay for people having the Visa Exempt Entry, as far as I understand out of the reports people make on this page.

Copy Id page passport, copy Admitted to Stay stamp, copy TM 6 Departure card, 1 passport picture, 1.900 Thb and the application form you can pick up at the Immigration Office. You can apply in Chang Mai between 45 days before till the last day of your Admitted until date stamped in your passport, by going early you will not lose days becuase the Extension of 30 days is added to your current Admitted to Stay period.
