you should be able to walk in at IT Square. If there is a lot of people, you may have a long wait. Get there as early as you can. They were opening at 8:30 this month.

Then you can apply for an extension of stay for 30 days up to and including the 9th of February. Doing it early has no downside as they add on the 30 days to your existing date.

I have checked for IT square, but there are non available appointments for next week.

I might go to Pathumthani or Nonthabuti immigrations

(Have searched for these nearby immigrations in the group but no one talk about it 😂😂)

For visa exempt entries in Bangkok you go to IT Square. From reports online I see that it’s available for walk in. There is seemingly a limit of 300 a day but reports on here suggest that if you get there by 9.30 you’ll be good to go. Probably better to do so by 8.30 but I do not have direct knowledge of that office.
