Do I need an appointment to visit Muang Thani Immigration in Thailand?
Do you need to have an appointment at muang thani immigration, or can you go there without one? Edit: You absolutely need one ! When you show up is a bit more flexible in that 4 hour window
Answer summary
It is generally required to make an appointment to ensure processing is smooth at Muang Thani Immigration, particularly for certain visa services. However, there are reports of individuals being able to visit without an appointment for specific tasks, suggesting some flexibility exists. For those who wish to secure an appointment, they can do so through the online booking system. It is recommended to print the appointment confirmation when visiting.

OK, I'm shutting this down:
1. It looks like you need to make an appointment to use some of the services at Bangkok Immigration.
2. The IP address for the appointment system is
3. The attached graphic is the only options you can select for the appointment system. If you don't see the options it means you don't need to make an appointment.
4. If you don't know what some of those options are, ignore it; they don't matter to you.
Good luck one and all!

I just arrived to do a TM30 with no appointment got a queue ticket and got all sorted in a couple of hours.. most of that time was spent running between the girl checking my forms and the photocopier on a different floor... saved me going to the gym later (always looking for a positive in these troubled times 😉)

I made an appointment for my 90 day report but they didn't check at all, I just got a queue number when I arrived

Okay, the ONLY people who go to MTT for extensions are people who originally entered on a 30 day visa exempt OR a 60 day tourist visa and want the 30 day unable to travel extension OR a 60 day visit thai family extension (if you qualify for that)
So if you didn't show up here on a 30 day visa exempt OR a 60 day tourist visa you go to Chaengwattana for your extension.

@Benjamin *****
yes I know. But first will try again with more printed out information. Jens **********
@Benjamin *****
OK understand. Thanks. Then need to deal with my local Immi and the "special" rules there.Benjamin ******
@Jens *********
if the rules are too "special", ask to file an appeal. Jens **********
And these people have to stay in Bangkok to visit MTT?
People who stay (rent a house) in Chonburi can also use MTT or only the local Chonburi Immigration?

@Jens *********
only people in Bangkok can use CW or MTT. If you live in elsewhere, you'll use that immigration office,

My experience was that you definitely need an online queue reservation. The first time (of three consecutive business-day trips out there) I was sent away because I didn’t have an appointment. I was pretty sad about it because the place looked almost empty but they were very clear/adamant that I needed one. I was actually told that I should bring a print-out of my reservation. 🤷🏾♀️

OP@Ketrina *******
so better print to be safe Benjamin ******
You can't get a visa inside Thailand. Are you looking to get an extension of stay?
Daniel *******
@Benjamin *****
yes, extension Tod *********
@Daniel ******
you can't do an appointment for a yearly extension based on marriage to a thai. That one is not an optionDaniel *******
@Benjamin *****
thank you. I was planning to walk in, but if I can do appointment (rather do that). Thank you. Benjamin ******
@Daniel ******
I just opened it up, and I don't think you can make a reservation to get an extension of stay based on marriage using the online reservation system. You may have to walk in.@Tod ********
, what says you?Daniel *******
@Benjamin *****
yesBenjamin ******
@Daniel ******
Then you'll be getting an extension of stay based on marriage to a Thai national.Daniel *******

Extension of stay for what reason? The "O" in Non-O means "other", and can be for a lot of reasons.Benjamin ******
You are NOT on an LA visa, that's only for people from Myanmar (Burma), Cambodia, and Laos.
Daniel *******
@Benjamin *****
if I’m doing non-o, can I make an appointment. If so, what category, do I pick? Thanks. Tod *********
@Brian *********
strange that the appointments for the short term extensions (Counter K) at MTT for visa exempt just have an 8:30-12 and 1:30-4:30 :O The extensions for tourist visas (counter J) have them spaced every 10 minutes like all the other appointment choices do :) I think you can just show up any time between 8:30 and 12 and just show your appointment slip and they'll jump you in the queue
Tod *********
60 day tourist visa entry extensions at Counter J appointments every 10 minutes :O
Aneeshaa ***********
@Tod ********
what about the 30 day extension with the embassy letter? Which should service should I book for that? Tod *********
30 day visa exempt entry extensions at counter K appointments 8:30-12:00 and 13:00-16:30

@Tod ********
as someone on visa exempt, what do we select for 60 family visit? I know we have to go to MTT but do we make the appointment as 30 day visa exempt entry extension? Benjamin ******
You do not *NEED* to make an appointment, however if you want to, the URL is:

OPAlso make sure to hand your cash very deliberately. I put mine on top of the stack of papers and it went missing. They had to recount all the money on the receipts for the day to figure out that they did in fact have 2k baht on hand more than they should
Brian **********
OP@Benjamin *****
turns out you absolutely do need one.... I'm here now. I managed to charm my way around it using a booking already in their system from this morning. Apparently having all the info on their computers from the web appointment thing is vital.Benjamin ******
@Brian *********
I'm sorry for giving you the wrong advice. If you don't mind me asking, what are you getting at MTT? Brian **********
OP@Benjamin *****
of course. This is just a muang Thani post so tag it as such since this wasn't answered in the others tagged.Benjamin ******
@Brian *********
Thank you, I'm looking forward to seeing your post. Can you make your own post, so it'll be easier to find?Brian **********
OP@Benjamin *****
tourist visa exempt, extended 30 days, going on 30 day covid extension. Will post stamps, details and better directions for this maze later. Brian **********
OP@Benjamin *****
and when you do have an appointment for the morning do you have to get there at exactly 830 am for your 830 am to 12 appointment Benjamin ******
@Brian *********
I don't know; I would assume the appointment time is the time you'll have to show up.Activity
