Hi, how do I extend my 2 month holiday visa an extra month, runs out on 11/3

Thanks
Answer summary
To extend your 2-month holiday visa in Thailand for an additional month, you should visit your local immigration office as soon as possible before your visa expires. Make sure you bring the necessary documents: a copy of your passport detail page, a copy of your entry stamp, two passport-sized photos, 1900 THB in cash, and a TM30 form from your hotel or landlord. If you're in Bangkok, extensions must be made at Chaeng Watthana immigration office for a tourist visa, or at Laksi for a visa exempt entry. You could also consider hiring an agent for convenience, but many advise doing it yourself if you have all the required documents.

I thought you had apply within the first 30 days of the original 60 day visa. Has anyone gotten one after the first 30 days?

Wear similar clothes like on your profile Photo that you don’t look Like a broke Backpacker and go to the nearest Immigration office. Bring 1900 baht and a few passport photos ( if you forget, there are always some nearby copy shops). You will get a new stamp into the Passwort with a new date to be out of the Country. There are often some rude fireigigners in the office. Being the friendly one can Speed up the process. I am pretty sure that one Hotel I stayed in Phuket didn’t register me but by friendly just telling them where i stay, ävi got the stamp. If I would gone in and say this fcuking Hotel didn’t ask for my passport, they would say f yourself and leave Thailand 😂

The "how" has been answered here. A little note about the "where and when" :

(1) do it as early as your local immigration office allows it : you don't lose any days by going early

(2) how early you can go depends on your local immigration office. The vast majority of places you will be able to extend now already. But there are a few places were they have a smaller time window. Depends on where you are.

(3) the right words are important : are you really on a tourist visa, or are you on visa exempt ( = didn't apply for any visa, got your 60 days permission when you arrived)

IF you are in Bangkok, the real visa has to be extended at immigration at Chaeng Watthana. The visa exempt has to be extended at Laksi.

Just been to immigration for extra 30 days. We made an appointment for 11-20, got there just before 11 was out at 11-20 only 8 people in the room and knowone outside, which was a surprise as usually packed. Real nice staff who are really helpful....

For a 30 day touristic extension if you arrived in Thailand on a free stamp entry (meaning you didn't have a visa when you got here) and were stamped in for a 60-days stay permit on the visa exempt program with a stamp that says ผ.60-ม.17, you go to the Immigration office that serves your area of accommodation.

You will need:

*** copy of passport detail page

*** copy of entry stamp

*** two passport size pictures

*** 1900.- Thai Baht in cash

*** copy or screenshot of the TM30 from your hotel or homeowner

You will need to sign every copy in blue ink.

Quickest way is get an Agent to do it for you. Probably cost 4000 baht. Do it yourself you need to queue up at immigration and ensure you have all the right documents completed, signed and copied. Likely you'll have missed an item or two, or need copies or need photos, and will need to come back again. If in Pattaya immigration is in Jomtien Soi 5 I believe.

John Ronan why to pay an agent when you need to wait for the same time and same documents?

RubyOstrich6114 Sounds like it's the BMs first time doing it. I remember my first time 555 and it was a stressful experience. If he has all the right documents then, I agree, he should do it himself, and not use an agent.

John Ronan absolutely no reason to use an agent for 30 days exemption. No "paperwork" only copies of existing documents. But offcourse if you want to pay for convenience it's no problem

John Ronan still need same documents for agent 😬

John Ronan amazing that people would take issue with not paying for the convenience you mention yet have the money for a 3rd month on holiday

Do you mean 60 day visa exemption? You can ask extend by 30 at immigration. Up to them how many days they give.

You go to your local immigration office and apply. Each immigration office has their own requirements, but this is a generic list of requirements.
