I came on a 30 day visa exemption stamp (us citizen) and went to MTT to extend my stay until Nov 30. I’m guessing if I want another extension I would have to go back to MTT? Has anyone been able to extend their visa past Nov 30? How many days should you get?
Answer summary
A US citizen on a 30-day visa exemption can indeed apply for a visa extension at MTT (Immigration Office). One option available is applying for a 60-day extension, specifically due to COVID-related travel restrictions. After applying, the process includes receiving an 'under consideration' stamp valid for 14 days, during which you must return to finalize your extension.

, ALL extensions are 1900baht at every immigration office in the country no matter how long they're issued for.

There are reports that people are NOT being asked for the embassy letter, BUT if you have one take it, OR if your embassy doesn't issue the letter get a print out of the email or website stating that if you can

people HAVE, and you get a 14 day under consideration stamp then go back and get the rest of the 60 day extension inked in.

you go back to MTT and you would apply for the 60 day unable to travel due to covid extension. You'll get an under consideration stamp dated out 14 days and then go back and get the rest of the 60 day extension inked in

You can get the form at immigration office. You MAY need TM30 receipt and/or other documents depending on immigration office policy and it varies. That's why

I got my first unable to travel 60 day extension from Kanchanaburi IO, however now I’m all the way down in Koh Lipe and was planning to just go to the nearest office here. Can I only get another extension from Kanchanaburi?

, my answer telling the O/P to go to MTT was because I thought they still were staying IN Bangkok.

, as long as you "closed the loop" (got your under consideration stamp changed over to the extension of stay stamp) at the immigration office you first used you can go to the immigration office in the area where you live to apply for another extension. You will need to use an address in that area and depending on the office have a TM30 filed to show that you do indeed stay within their area.

I see a trip to the Satun immigration office in your near future OR post on a f/b page related to the islands and see what people tell you ;)

Perfect, thank you! Do you know how much documentation about the address will be required? At Kanchanaburi I had to do a lot of paperwork regarding my address but I know it varies
