ORIGINAL POSTER

Advice sought: my wife and I work in a neighbouring country to Thailand. We plan to spend August near Hua Hin in a private rented house. We hold UK passports so normally enter as tourists on a visa-free basis and get a 30-day stamp (we rarely stay more than a week). Our August plans mean we will spend more than 30 days this time. 

Two questions:

How easy is it to get a 30-day tourist visa extension at the Hua Hin Immigration office?

How does one get a TM 30, which I understand is required, if staying in a private house? 

Thanks in advance for

TLDR : Answer Summary

The post addresses the need for extending a 30-day tourist visa for a planned stay in Hua Hin, Thailand, and inquires about obtaining a TM 30 for staying in a private rented house. Responses suggest that extending the visa at the Hua Hin Immigration office is straightforward, with mentions of costs and locations such as Blueport. Additionally, obtaining a Single Entry Tourist Visa before arrival is recommended as a hassle-free alternative, eliminating concerns about extensions and TM 30 requirements.

Maybe getting SETV before you fly to Thailand is one of the idea as you still have enough time, and Robert says as alternate.

SETV is less hustle at airline check-in, a bit less fee than extension, no visit to immigration office during your holidays and no need to be worried about TM30 for an extension. Just a thought

Alternative is to apply for the Single Entry Tourist Visa at the Thai Embassy and get 60 days of stay on arrival.
