How do I extend my 60-day tourist visa in Thailand for the first time?

Feb 18, 2024

I'm in Thailand on my second 60 day tourist visa and it's time for my first time ever doing an extension. I read the instructions sheet. I went to the website for immigration to make an appointment but can't. So .. I assume that for these 30.day extensions, you show up at IT laksi. ( Wherever that is but I can find out) with your preprinted passport copy, all the rest of the required paperwork and hang out until it's your turn?

Thanks so much

Let's clarify what you ENTERED on...

BEFORE you flew to Thailand, did you buy a Thai tourist visa?

AND on arrival into Thailand,

How many days were did STAMPED in by the Thai Immigration Officer?

60 days

Or 30 days???

THESE are the common found requirements for the 30 days extension of stay. Be sure you have a TM30 address registration on file with Thai Immigration.

then you can get a 30 day extension of stay at your local Thai Immigration office for 1900 Thai baht.

IF you are in Bangkok,

You do not ๐Ÿšซ go to the IT Laksi Square Thai Immigration office...

You go to the Main Thai Immigration office in Bangkok.. the CW Chaengewattana Immigration Office to apply for the 30 days extension of your stay. It's ADDED to your current STAMPED ending date.
