Can I extend my tourist visa on Koh Tao, Koh Samui, or Krabi?
Does anyone know if I can extend my tourist visa on Ko Tao? If not, how about Ko Samui or Krabi? Thanks!!
Answer summary
You can extend your tourist visa on Koh Tao; the immigration office is near the police station. If you're considering extending on Koh Samui or Krabi, the comments suggest these locations may also offer visa extension services. For the extension, you need to prepare specific documents including passport-size photos, copies of your passport, TM6 arrival slip, and the stamped page from your arrival. The fee for the extension is around 1900 baht.

What documents do you need to 30 day extend 60-day tourist visa?
Also, i have 20 days left on my 60-day tourist visa. If i do an 30 - day extension now, do I lose the 20days i had on the original tourist visa? Thanks.

You won’t lose days on a regular / one time 30 day extension … they are added on top of your current due exit date. You may lose days however on your first 60 day covid extension, as the first one of those starts at the day of applying for it. Unlike subsequent ones. Confused much? Thailand!Bill *********

are u sure about that? if that is true i might wait till the end of my 30 extra days.Bill *********
@Frank-Steven **********
yes im thinking about that now.......... i would be on ko tao by then. and i already phoned up immigration in ko tao and the guy seems freindly. i normally wouldnt risk it to do it same day as expiration but on ko tao, i would risk it cause im sure they want bodies staying in ko tao right now.......and the office their wouldnt be a zoo like phuketFrank-Steven ***********
@Bill ********
If they extend the covid extensions again - which is highly likely IMHO, you could just go on the last day of your current stamp - in order to not lose any days.Bill *********

that sucks my 30 extra days ends feb 3. i was hoping to maximize my time so i could leave thailand about april 3. i have a friend that has connections in immmigration maybe he can help me secure the full 60 days. hoping u are wrong about that. maybe if i pay a bit more they will tack the 60 days onto the of my 30 . i will tryFrank-Steven ***********
@Bill ********
positive. Sure.

@Sam *****
no you won’t lose the 20 days....They’ll add on to what’s stamped on your passport....So going in early won’t hurt....You can go in 30-45 days before it expires depending on location...Sam ******
