ORIGINAL POSTERQuestion about visa exempt and extending for 30 days:
Me, a Dutch citizen, entered Thailand by air on visa exempt (60 days) over a month ago. Next week I want to request another extra 30 days.
1. This is done at Laksi IT, correct? Do I need to make an appointment?
2. I'm currently staying at a hotel, so I assume that I don't need to bring proof of TM30, correct?
3. Besides money, copy of passport pages and photo, what other forms should I bring along? Only the TM7 application form? Also the form that I acknowledge any overstay penalties?
4. Anything else that I'm forgetting 😅?
Thanks for the advice!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user, a Dutch citizen, inquired about the process to request an additional 30-day extension after entering Thailand on a visa-exempt basis. Key points include the need to go to Laksi IT (IT Square Lak Si Plaza) to submit the extension request, the requirement of a TM30 receipt from the hotel for proof of address, and recommended items to bring such as money, a copy of the passport, a photo, and the TM7 application form. The conversation emphasizes preparing for possible queues and being polite during the visit.

Ask for a print out of the TM 30 go early as there can be a long queue and that accept only a limited number of people . Take a number first .
