Hi,

I arrived to Thailand on a visa exemption. Do I need to get any kind of visa first before applying for COVID-19 60 days extension?

TLDR : Answer Summary
To apply for a COVID-19 60 days extension in Thailand after arriving on a visa exemption, you first need to obtain a 30-day extension of stay based on tourism from your local immigration office. You will need various documents such as your passport, recent visas (if applicable), entry stamps, and photos, along with a processing fee.

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.
