ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello everyone, when we do 30 days visa extension at Lak Sit immigration Bkk; for the residence address I live in my girlfriend's house but we haven't done TM30 yet and we live in Nonthaburi, not in Bkk. Can I put any hotel in Bangkok. Will immigration request the reservation? 

I ask this question because last time immigration reject my adress in Nonthaburi and I had to put the condo of her bestfriend in Bangkok.

So if I put any hotel, no matter which one, do I have to show the immigration the reservation ?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The poster is inquiring about using a hotel address in Bangkok for a 30-day visa extension while living in Nonthaburi, mentioning past issues with immigration rejecting their address. Comments suggest that while some people were successful without presenting a TM30 when using a Bangkok address, others were asked for it, especially if they provided a hotel address. It is generally recommended to use the local immigration office corresponding to one's actual residence address, and ensuring a TM30 is registered may help.

In my experience the TM30 was never asked at IT Square whenever I used a residential address. They only asked for that TM30 from people who were staying at a hotel. Make sure your residential address is in Bangkok though otherwise they'll tell you to use whatever provincial immigration office your address is in.

Thanks, in Bangkok, it seems to be more like a hit-or-miss situation. You have been "lucky" doesn't mean others with residential addresses wouldn't be asked (many were asked for).

If you choose to use the IT Laksi Square Thai Immigration office in Bangkok...be sure you check in to a Bangkok hotel for one night before you Apply for the 30 days extension of stay at IT Laski Immigration office. AND ask the hotel for a copy of the TM30 filing they are making with Thai Immigration.

in my experience they were happy to let me get the extension without a TM30 when using a residential address. Did it 3 times, never asked for a TM30 as long as I was using a Bangkok residential address. All the tourists who were staying at a hotel were asked for it however. Again idk if it was office policy or if they simply decided they liked me enough to not bother with it.🧐

THESE are the common found requirements for the 30 days extension of stay at your local Thai Immigration office for 1900 Thai baht. Be sure to have a TM30 address registration on file with them.

thank’s for your answer 🙏🏾 Do I need a TM30 to prove I stay in my girlfriend place ?

If yes, I would be difficult to get in time.

So can I put any hotel adress even if I didn’t book any ? Does immigration will request my booking paper ?

Unless I'm mistaken Nonthaburi doesn't require a TM30 to show where you're staying in that province. BUT as I said, take your thai g/f with you when you go for the extension just in case 🙂
