ORIGINAL POSTER

Simple questions about Visa-Free-Entry Extension.

I live in Bangkok. I am applying for my 30-day visa-free entry extension tomorrow My current 45 days expires February 11. I hold a USA passport. 

Where do I go? I was given 3 different addresses: 

1. Government Complex, Chaeng Wattana Rd

1. IT Square Lakski Plaza, 3rd Fl

1. Immigration Bureau 904 Chaengwattana Road., Muang Thong Thani, Banmai, Pakkret, Nonthaburi. 11120

Do I need to schedule an online appointment first? My visa will expire before the next available appointment; do they take walk-ins?

Do I need a return flight ticket back to USA, after 30 days?

Thank you kindly  🙏🏼

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking advice about applying for a 30-day visa-free entry extension in Bangkok, specifically where to go, whether an appointment is necessary, and if a return flight ticket is required. Commenters suggested using the IT Square Laksi Plaza immigration office for the extension, noted that while walk-ins are accepted, making an appointment is preferable. One user mentioned their experience where they were redirected to the Government Complex for their extension despite initially being advised to go to a different location. Additionally, a return flight ticket is generally not required for the extension.

I had a multiple entries tourist visa, I went at IT square yesterday for the 30 days extension but there, they told me to go to government complex (about 2kms) as I had a tourist visa ! Finally I got it ! No appointment needed (it closes between 12am-1pm)

@Lauriane ****

right people with tourist visas use the main immigration office at Chaengawattana Building B 😕 This thread was about someone who entered with NO visa (visa exempt), sorry you read that wrong.

You use the ITSquare immigration office for your 30 day extension of stay.

Walk Up is available... BUT an appointment is better and readily available using the attachment you posted.
