How can I extend my visa-free entry in Phuket before leaving Thailand?

and on that note we wish

@Michael ************

well in their endeavor to get a 30 day extension on their visa exempt entry stamp in Phuket.

Good luck with it, (y)

That is from the Phuket Immigration Volunteer website about what you need to get a 30 day extension on a visa exempt entry

You say you want to extend before you leave and return, in that case you wouldn't need an extension, you'd be stamped in for an additional 45 days upon arrival. What is your current permission to stay stamp date and when do you plan to leave and return to Thailand? Whatever stamp you have when you depart thailand is cancelled and you theoretically can't use it to re-enter.

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

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

1,900 baht

You can do exempt extensions at the main Phuket Town office (approx 45 minutes), Patong (approx 30 minutes) or Blue Tree (approx 20 minutes).
