Do I need a hotel address to extend my visa in Thailand after just arriving?

Checking in a hotel in Bangkok is fine for your extension

KAREN

It works; don't wonder!

Don't start brushing the fur in the wrong direction.

Normal

Is it dated for tomorrow? If so ends today at midnight….

Es it is to have info where you are s look eepibg that when you get infected they know which protocol to use

who would have thought you'd need an address to get a visa...

Do exactly what the lady said to you and it will work. Don’t waste time.

You can figure out why it worked after you’re finished.

It’s a very good reason it was sound advice. Just do it

Go find a place to stay, extend your visa later, and chill out.

Keep arguing it’s absurd and don’t do what immigration tell you

You cannot get an extension without a TM30. You are required by law to have a TM30 filed for you within 24 hours of arriving at a location you will be staying. Hotels will file this for you so that is why the lady mentioned it to you. You can checkin to a hotel and ask them for the TM30 proof and use that. Else you can get your landlord to file your TM30 for where you will be staying.

You will not get an extension without a TM30. It's not immigration's fault that you don't meet the requirements for an extension. So meet the requirements or leave Thailand, those are your options and the same options everyone visiting Thailand has.

Just do it

Why do you need to extend if you just arrived?

Sorry, I have been away a while. But yes, you need an address before you arrive or before you extend.

Done this many times.

She was very helpful to you. That is what some of us know but they don't usually like to tell you that you anything less than a hotel reservation for the entire length of your stay.

Her advise is on par with the requirements, take it or lose the extention.

Her advice sounds pretty good if you want the visa extension

Just register the address where you are staying if it's a private residence. It should be free. If it's a hotel, you can ask owners to fill out a form.

I am in Songkhla province. My first time to extend, they told me I was registered for Bangkok. They told me I either need to have an address in Songkhla or would need to go to Bkk to extend. I used my friends address, and they sent me to another building to update it, and they gave me a receipt..

My second time extending the visa, the same immigration told me I was registered to Bkk. I told them I already updated it, and showed them a photo of the receipt. They said ok.

Today, I went for a third extension... They told me my address was still Bangkok... And I needed to update it.. I told them we already had this discussion... I sent them the photo of my receipt, and they processed my visa. The officer comes back with a printed copy of my photo of the receipt. He says just to bring it next time....

Instead of just updating my records, they want me to bring a receipt saying it was recorded before that I changed my address 😂 I would hope immigration kept better records of me

Any hotel will add you to the TM30 system when you check in. They will check this when you do the extension. This will be proof enough for them 👍🏻

I had similar issue arriving at airport before going to ASQ. I had to show immigration where I was going to stay after quarantine. I booked a room on my phone to Agoda and show them the confirmation email.

yep , you need a TM 30 .

I think you will need an address in the province where you are applying for your extension from

can buy house lease/rental papers in Tesco in the stationary section

So you're living on the street?
