Hey. So tomorrow I’ll renew my tourist visa but I don’t have a TM30.

I did stay at a hotel for 3 days when I first came here but I’m not sure if that’s relevant or not. What’s my best option? Can I just check into a hotel today and go there tomorrow?
Answer summary
The user is inquiring about the renewal of their tourist visa without having a TM30. They stayed at a hotel for 3 days upon arrival but are unsure if it is relevant. Based on comments, it is possible to renew the visa without proof of a TM30 at the main immigration office, particularly if they have an address in the area served by that office. It is recommended to check into a hotel today and provide the hotel receipt at the immigration office tomorrow.

Keep in mind if you go to another immigration office you need to have an address IN the area that is served by that office. Meaning you can't go to the Samut Prakan immigration office using a bangkok address of where you're staying.

You said you're in Bangkok, GO to the government complex out at Chaengwattana Road and get your extension. IF you get there around 9:15 (after everyone else has gotten in to the building) you'd be out by 10-10:30 because tourists don't wake up early and the section you need to go to will not have many people in it

There is NO requirement to have proof a TM30 was filed to get a 30 day extension on a 30 day visa exempt or 60 day tourist visa at the main immigration office out at the government complex on Chaengwattana Road
