How can I extend my 30-day visa in Thailand, and what documents do I need?
Hi All , Came in on a 30 day visa from the uk , need to extend, plz can someone tell me how / where and what docs I may need? Also is there a visa agent that can do it for me? Thanks P
Answer summary
The user is seeking advice on how to extend their 30-day visa after arriving from the UK. Responses suggest going to the Muang Thong Thani immigration office in Bangkok, where it takes about 20 minutes to process the extension. Required documents include a passport, a passport photo (which can be taken on-site), and a form provided at the office. The conversation warns against using a visa agent due to potential risks, suggesting to navigate the process independently for a safer and more reliable experience.

If you are in Bangkok go to muang ThongThani immigration office , takes about 20 mins , wasn’t many people there when I went, you need passport photo, which you can have done there . Passport and that’s pretty much it

there is a form you need to fill out which they will give you when you get there , some people on these groups spend more time posting unhelpful posts when to type the answer would take the same time … must be having a bad day

What immigration office?
>Also is there a visa agent
Please do not use an agent.
When a foreigner uses an agent, the following risks exist:
1. The agent loses the passport.
2. The agent may have a copy of the stamps and stamp the passport without sending it to an immigration officer.
3. The agent may decide not to support the customer because they lost the contact within the immigration officer who issues the extension of stay.
4. The agent may steal the passport, other documents, or money from a foreigner’s bank account.
5. The extension of stay that was issued may be retroactively voided if the immigration officer is audited and falsified documents are discovered.
6. Once a foreigner starts using an agent, it is almost impossible to stop using the agent without leaving the country.

the only thing a ligitimate agents can do is get you to get all your documents together, then stand in the queue for you, as you must still deal with immigration in person to get an extension.Paul ***********
@Benjamin *****
why you asking that if you don't want agent to do your visa that's up to you l did not want wait 3 or 4 hours then be told come back tomorrowBenjamin ******
@Paul **********
Again, as I quoted above:"Please quote the laws where a visa agent is regulated and must maintain compliance of their customer's information?"
If you can, give me the information. If not, shut up.
