Do I need to obtain a visa before applying for a COVID-19 60 days extension in Thailand on a visa exemption?

Yes. You need to get a 30 day extension of stay based on tourism at your local immigration office. This will add an additional 30 days to your existing 'admitted to' stamp.

You will need the following documents:

1. The applicant’s passport and a copy of:

a. The data “picture” page.

b. The most recent visa (if applicable).

c. All entry stamps or extension of stay (if applicable) since arrival .

d. The departure card (“TM 6”) that should be stapled in the passport.

2. [may not be asked at Bangkok Immigration] The extension of stay application form (“TM 7”).

3. A copy of the submitted Notification of Residence of Foreigners form ("TM 30”).

4. 2x passport sized (4cm by 6cm) photos. [only 1 picture is required for Bangkok Immigration]

5. 1,900 THB processing fee.

You will go to the immigration office where the TM30 was submitted.
