Has anyone done the 30 days extension online? How does it work, do you need to go the the IMM office or is it done entirely online? How long does it take to get it? Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary
You can apply for a 30-day extension online, but it's currently only available for residents in Bangkok. The process involves submitting your documents online, and once approved, you must visit the immigration office to get the extension stamped in your passport. The processing time varies based on your preference, with faster processing available for a higher fee.

It's only available in Bangkok. You submit all your documents online and wait to see if it's approved.

If it's approved you then go to immigration and get your extension stamped into your passport.

How long it takes is up to you. You pick how long the processing is and the fee is higher the faster you want it done.

Interesting. Didn't know it was available online (anywhere). I'm in CM, so doesn't matter; but always good to learn the news.

I'm against it personally. The minimum charge is 500₿ and it goes up a lot from there if you want expedited. But you still have to go into the office. I can just make an appointment and go in for free.

30-day Extension is Free? I don't think so Brandon. 1900 Baht everywhere. Perhaps, you meant extra "convenience" fee, if you do it online (like the "convience fee" for Airport Re-Entry Stamp?)?

free as in no additional fee above the 1900

I guess we are on the same page: you meant extra online fee. Got it. I wouldn't do it either, in that case.
