I have an appointment tomorrow for online extension of a visa exempt 30-day stamp. The address for the appointment is:

Immigration Division 1, 3rd Floor, Government Complex Building B (Chaeng Wattana)

I am a bit confused. I was led to believe ALL visa exempt extensions were at IT Square Laksi. Please advise.

Thank you krub 🤓

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking clarification on their appointment for extending a visa exempt 30-day stamp, as they believed all extensions were done at IT Square Laksi, but their appointment is at Chaeng Wattana. Comments suggest that depending on the type of appointment (standard vs. e-extension), the location may vary.

If you mean the E-visa extension which is the new service of immigration, you have to go to the 3rd floor Chaeng Wattana.

Visa exempt entry you go to IT square Laksi Plaza. 3rd floor. You’ll be sent away from CW even if you have an appointment.

all E-Extensions that were processed online are now done at Chaeng Wattana on the third floor. There's a big sign saying E-Extensions at the office.

If you do the pre-approval process via VFS you go to CW and its very quick. I did it in February.

Not an answer to your question, but how is it an 'online extension' if you are extending in person at an address?

@John **********
it's really just an online pre approval as you still have to go in and get the stamp.

We need clarification on which appointment you have.

Do you have a standard free appointment that you booked online?

Or do you have an appointment for e-extension where you uploaded all your documents and paid a fee and they gave you a time to come in and get your stamp?

fairly certain every e-extension is done at Chaeng Watthana. But if you could write up a post after you get it, we haven't had any first hand reports about this new system yet
