ORIGINAL POSTER
No TM30 asked... I was at Bangkok Immigration today for a 1 month visum extension for my 1 month visum exempt. Nothing changed, passport, photo, TM6/7, 1900 baht, some copies and that was all they needed. I was ready in an hour. Line was also going fast. I thought a TM30 was required now?

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user recently reported obtaining a 1-month visa extension at Bangkok Immigration without being asked for a TM30 form, which led to confusion about its necessity. Comments clarified that the TM30 is not required for short-term extensions like the 30-day visa exempt and 60-day tourist visas, but may be necessary for long-term visa extensions, particularly for Non-O visas. The conversation emphasizes varying local practices and updates regarding immigration requirements.

they are NOT asking for TM.30's for people getting 30 day extensions on 30 day visa exempt entries Or people on 60 day tourist visa entries.
