Can my mom extend her tourist visa for another 30 days in Samut Sakhon?

Jul 13, 2025

Hello,

My mom who’s on tourist visa (60 days) wants to extend her stay for another 30 days. We are currently in Samut Sakhon. Is it possible for her to extend in Samut Sakhon Immigration? We just moved to the province so we’re not familiar with the rules/procedure.

Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is inquiring whether their mother, currently on a tourist visa in Samut Sakhon, can extend her stay for an additional 30 days. Comments indicate that extensions may be possible at the local immigration office, but there are specific requirements such as filing a TM30 address registration.

i couldn't extend my visa in Samut Sakhon and they told me to go to another province and just book a hotel and request TM 30

@Marcell ********
did you have a TM30 filed showing you were staying in Samut Sakhon?

and you were on a 60 day free stamp entry or a 60 day tourist visa entry but were not allowed to apply for a 30 day extension even though you had a TM30 filed showing you were staying in an area served by that office?

Wow !!

@Tod ********
Yeah. He said because there are so many migrant workers

did they tell you the reason why they won’t allow you to extend there?

Yes, as she is Filipino, she can get an ADDED 30 day extension of stay at your local Thai Immigration office...

A TM30 address registration will need to be filed with the Thai Immigration office.

Here's the common found requirements for the 30 days extension... Suggest you 🚫 NOT wait til her current expiration date ends as the extension is ADDED.

Are you staying in a hotel?

If you are, then the hotel should file with Thai Immigration the TM30 address registration form. Ask them for a screenshot of their filing.

if YOU are the landlord, you can register her TM30. If you just have rented a house, the landlord has to register your Mom TM30
