My husband and I are going to be applying for the TR Single visa and hoping to extend it the additional 30 days upon arrival. Can this be done in Phuket or does it have to be done in Bangkok?

TLDR : Answer Summary

You can extend the TR Single visa for an additional 30 days at any local Immigration office, including those in Phuket; it is not necessary to go to Bangkok for this process.

i doubt you can immediately apply for the 30 days extension upon arrival..need to wait until you get closer to the end date.

Gunmetal Pedro I know, many officers do like that...

But officially you can apply for your extension:

If you have Tourist visa: 15 days after you enter the Country;

If you have a visa exempt 30 day stamp: the same day you enter the Country.

You and your husband can apply a single entry Tourist Visa only in a Thai embassy or consulate outside Thailand, then you can get a 60 day stamp on arrival and you can get a 30 day extension at any local Immigration office paying a fee of 1900 baht.

A single entry tourist visa is VALID for 90 days from the date it's issued <- meaning you have that long to enter thailand and get stamped in for 60 days.

I'd just apply for it as soon as you can.

Sorry my question wasn't clear. I was meaning to ask about mail in visa application while still in the US before flying to Thailand.
