Does the Remaining Time on SETV Affect Applying for a 30-Day Extension in Thailand?

SETV 30-Day Extension TM30 Filing

Nov 6, 2019

ORIGINAL POSTER

30 day extension question:

Does it matter how much time I have left on an SETV when I apply for a 30 day extension at Changwattana?

Also, I have never filled in a TM30. Is this likely to be a problem? (I've stayed in hotels and at my girlfriend's condo).

TLDR : Answer Summary

When applying for a 30-day extension at Changwattana, the amount of time remaining on your SETV does not significantly impact the application. However, it is important to have a TM30 form filed, which should typically be done by your hotel or landlord. If you have not had this done, there is a risk of fines when applying for your extension.

So far TM 30 is not required for 30 days extension of Visa exempt entry or entry on tourist visa at Chaengwattna.

1. To my knowledge, no, it does not matter.

2. Yes, a TM30 should be filed for you. If you are at a hotel room now, the hotel should have filed the TM30 for you. If you are in your girlfriend's Condo, she should have filed a TM30 for you. My advice is to either:

a. Expect to pay the fine when you apply for your extension.

b. Get a cheap hotel room someplace, and the next day file a TM30 when you return to your girlfriend's condo.
