Can I extend my 30-day visa exempt stay in Thailand?

What passport do you hold?

>In case I want to stay longer, can I extend?

Yes. You can get a 30 day extension of stay based on tourism IF you enter on a visa exempt. You will need the following documents submitted to the local immigration office:

1. The applicant’s passport and a copy of:

a. The data “picture” page.

b. The most recent visa (if applicable).

c. All entry stamps or extension of stay (if applicable) since arrival.

d. The departure card (“TM 6”) that should be stapled in the passport.

2. The extension of stay application form (“TM 7”).

3. A copy of the submitted Notification of Residence of Foreigners form ("TM 30”).

4. 2x passport sized (4cm by 6cm) photos.

5. 1,900 THB processing fee.

This advice only applies for people who enter on a visa exempt. See the attached list for the approved countries.

If you are entering on a Visa on Arrival, OR Bilateral Agreement, you do not qualify for this extension of stay.

If you are entering from a Hong Kong passport, you will need to ask passport control to stamp you in as visa exempt (Show them the list below).
