Can I extend my 30-day visa in Thailand without a TM30?
Hi 🙂 I entered in thailand with a 30 days visa free and i need an extension of 30 days I have all the documents but no TM30 ! Will they give to me or its an obligation? Copy of rental contract could be ok instead of tm30?
Thank you

Answer summary
The user inquires about extending their 30-day visa in Thailand without having a TM30 form, mentioning they have all necessary documents but lack the TM30. Community responses indicate that while some immigration offices may be lenient, a TM30 is generally required and a rental contract cannot substitute for it. Users share their experiences, suggesting that having proof such as a hotel booking can help, but the absence of a TM30 could potentially pose problems during the extension process.

I also need 30 days more. I have a house since some years but it is now sold with the condition that I can stay on and off for another year. No rental agreement, no TM30. Do I face problems with my visa extension?

I’ve only ever shown copy of hotel booking and never an issue

Hotels generally will file as it's a legal requirement. The booking alone will not suffice as bookings can be cancelled

One night is sufficientBrandon ************
@Paul ******
because your hotel filed a TM30 for you.

I was asked to show a printed TM30 copy in Bkk which was then returned to me.

Some offices require you to have a copy. Some will not require it if they see you have one in the system already. I don't know of any that just don't care. And no a rental agreement is not okay. It should have been filed within 24 hours of you arriving there, so a rental agreement is just admission that you're not in legal status and will be fined

Phuket doesn’t care. You don’t need a copy nor to be “in the system” for a short term extension.Anthony ****
OP@Brandon ***********
ok thank you ! So I absolutely need the tm30 … can I fill it myself or it needs to be the owner only?Brandon ************
@แอนโทนี่ ******
you need a bunch of signed documents from the owner to be able to file on their behalfActivity
