ORIGINAL POSTER

I’ve been caught with the ceasing of the 45 day visa free change to 30 days.  I am travelling for 40 days.  Can I get an extension in Koh Samui, or do I need to do a border run?

So I apply for the TM30 at the Thai Embassy in Sydney before I go? I hold an Aussie passport (sorry, forgot to say that) so I believe I get 30 days automatically. Do I still have to get a TM30?
