TLDR : 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

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.

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.

ah so it's our problem and we should be expected to waste our time to answer something because he's too lazy and doesn't have the 5 minutes it would take to find the answers on the other 500 times this was asked. Makes so much sense.
