Visa/Visa exemption advice please (I'm in Bangkok)…..any help greatly appreciated.

I’m Australian and arrived in Thailand on the 45-day Visa exemption. Now I wish to extend my stay in Thailand. From what I have read I can extend one time for another 30 days by going directly to immigration? Can anyone confirm this and let me know which forms/paperwork I need? Thank you so much.

By the way, I have searched myself and found some conflicting advice which is why I am posting here. Keyboard warriors/trolls…. I know you may be having a crap day but try to scroll on if you can’t help.

Cheers all :)

TLDR : Answer Summary
An Australian citizen currently in Bangkok seeking to extend their 45-day Visa exemption can do so by visiting the immigration office. They can apply for an additional 30-day extension. To confirm this process, the required documents include passport copies, the completed TM7 form, a photo, and a fee of 1,900 baht. Guidance on the location was provided, specifically suggesting IT Square Laksi Plaza as the immigration office to visit.

You can also take BTS to Wat Phra Sri Mahathat station and from there it is a 10' ride to IT Square Laksi.

you go to IT Square Laksi Plaza 3rd floor, counter K.

Passport

Fill out form TM7 (available at the office)

Copy passport data page (signed by you)

Copy of entry stamp (signed by you)

Copy of your visa - either the sticker in your passport or pdf evisa (the former signed by you). * if you had one.

Copy of TM6 departure card (signed by you) *if you were issued one - if you entered by air after July ‘22 you wouldn’t have been given one so leave the space on the form blank.

Passport photo (most offices have facilities on site or nearby)

1,900 baht
