TLDR : Answer Summary
Your friend needs to extend her tourist visa at the Chaeng Watthana government complex when she has 45 days or less remaining before her visa expires. Since her visa will allow her to stay until June 6, she should consider extending it now to avoid overstaying. To extend, she needs to bring a few documents including her passport, a passport-sized photo, signed copies of her passport information page and entry stamp, a 1,900 baht fee, and confirm that her TM 30 has been filed by her hotel or residence. It's advised to go early in the morning and wear appropriate clothing when visiting the immigration office.

There is no 3 month tourist visa so her visa will probably expire June 6. For each day overstay she will have to pay a fine.

Only ONE 30 day extension possible, then you must leave LOS

Chaengwattana government complex, counter J ; if you actually have a TR visa

Further out-- just take a taxi or Bolt/Grab

Although you can take BTS part of the way...

you need to bring:

** your passport (Duh) ๐Ÿ™„

*passport size photo

*signed in blue ink copy of passport information page

*signed in blue ink copy of entry stamp

* print out copy of visa (if applicable)

* 1,900 baht

* infinite patience with a smile

(photo and copy services available there)

Your hotel or residence should have filed your TM 30

Get copy or screenshot

#go early in the morning

# fill in 3 forms available at the office

# your address & local phone number

# don't wear a tank top or flip flops / shorts (though some do-- 555

smile for their web cam ๐Ÿ˜

If you plan to go to Phuket, do it here in Patong. Took me just 10 minutes last time. I did once in bkk and lost a whole day.

No such thing as a 3months tourist visa, as stated earlier, from the day it was issued, you get 3 months to enter the country, but once it is used, you only have 2 months in-country, which can be extended for another 30 days

ur visa is valid for entry for 3 months BUT ONLY good for 60 days in country.

Go extend tomorrow or after and 30 days will be added to ur June 6th departure date

You can go to Chaeng Watthana when you have 45 days or less left for the tourist extension. They will add the time to the end.
