Hi, anyone had the experience in applying tourist visa extension from 60 days to 90- day stay? How many days in advance should I approach the immigration office before the 60 days expire to apply the extension? Thanks 🙏

Answer summary

To extend a Thai tourist visa from 60 days to 90 days, you can typically apply as close as one day before your current visa expires. However, it's generally recommended to approach the immigration office within 7 days before the expiration. Required documents include a TM30 form, a passport photo, and a copy of your passport. Be sure to check for any public holidays that might affect processing times.

Anytime when you have 30 days or less left on your stamp, some offices 45 days or less. Make sure a TM30 has been filed where you stay.

extension is added on to the current permission to stay stamp. The day you arrive is day one, not day zero.

Hi 👋

The new expiration date of the tourist visa is counted from the day I apply for the extension? I'm planning to come to Thailand around 20th of September on tourist visa and leave Thailand on around 20th December. I would like to get some advice, in order to book my return flight

You get 90 days in total (89 nights) with the 30 days being added to the original 60 whenever you apply

I have read somewhere, most immigration offices allow this within 7 days before your 60 expires.

All Immigration Offices will do an extension in the last 7 days of a tourism entry stamp but a few including Jomtien and Samui will only do it in the last 7 days.

Can do even the day before. Normally takes a hour or 3 in the immi office. Will need some basic paperwork

TM30

Passport photo

Copy passport

Can’t remember if anything else. .

- be mindful of public holidays during this time

Normally just this and 1900 baht in cash. Copy of ID-page and last stamp in passport.

Can be done 30 days before expiration at most immigrations. Jomtien and Samui within the last week.
