Hi everyone, my initial tourist visa (60 days + 30 days of extension) expires on the 1st September and I want to apply for the regular 30 days extension in Bangkok.
Do I have to go in advance to the Chaeng Wattana office (when exactly?)?
Do I need to book a plane ticket at the end of September to prove them I'll get out of the country by the end of the extension?
Also, they ask for a passeport photo; is it enough if it's printed or should I go have my photo taken somewhere (where?)?
Thank you very much, these procedures are really confusing to me!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user seeks guidance on extending their initial tourist visa in Bangkok before it expires on September 1st. They want to know if they need to visit the Chaeng Wattana office in advance, whether booking a flight ticket is necessary to prove exit from the country, and the requirements for passport photos for the extension application. Community responses clarify that the extension can be applied for up to three business days before the current visa expires, outline required documents, and suggest having passport photos taken professionally to meet immigration standards.
