Arrived 11 Nov (thanks for all the advice getting me here) on 30 day visa exempt and staying in Sala Daeng hotel. I want to obtain my one-off 30 day extension tomorrow (as there are 2 holidays next week) so having searched your group, I just want to confirm:
I will get the full 30 days on top of my current 30 days (not from tomorrow) and will need to visit Muang Thong Thani office with the following?:
1. Your passport and:
a. a copy of your data ("picture") page
c. a copy of your most recent stamp
d. a copy of your departure card
2. [MAYBE] A TM30, filed in the immigration office (screenshot from hotel)
3. The extension of stay application form TM 7 (can I fill this in beforehand or only at the office)
4. 1x passport pictures
5. 1,900 THB.
After that I can potentially apply for a C19 extension anytime within 30 days of my new visa exempt entitlement date, but if granted the 60 days would apply from that submission date?
Thx as always for your help (if only you guys ran the United Nations 🤩)
