Hello everyone, I would need to extend my tourist visa today and I was wondering if I strictly need an appointment at the temporary visa extension center? I ’ve been two times in the past without appointment and managed to extend my visa but I am not sure how the situation would be today.

A great week for everyone!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires about needing an appointment to extend a tourist visa, noting past successful extensions without one. Comments reveal that all appointments at the Bangkok Immigration Office are booked, suggesting direct visit with necessary paperwork. The requirements include a copy of the embassy letter, specific forms, passport photos, and a fee of 1,900 THB.

You'll need a copy of the embassy letter (if still being issued), and the forms found at

Just came back from there. Got an appointment for 9 am. I arrived there before opening and already saw people lining up. I asked if I could be let in before my appointment and they said yes. Counter J was not busy at all this morning and K had tons of people. At J nobody were asked about an online appointment.

Sadly, all the appointment at the Bangkok Immigration Office have been booked today, so you'll have to go there with all the paperwork and see what'll happen.
