Regarding extension of the 45 day passport stamp on arrival for USA citizens:

When applying at IT Square, Lak Si for the one-time, 30 day extension of stay, is the TM30 form 100% required?

Any comments regarding this would be appreciated.

TLDR : Answer Summary

When applying for a 30-day extension of stay at IT Square, Lak Si, USA citizens may not always need the TM30 form. Some reports from recent visitors indicate that although many Thai Immigration offices ask for it, some locations may not enforce this requirement strictly, especially in Bangkok. It's recommended to carry proof of the TM30 filing, as it might be requested based on individual circumstances.

TM30 is not required for tourism extensions usually in Bangkok, but would be in case you have staying history with covid extensions.

I have left comments OPEN Just in case we have a member who has been at the IT Square Laksi Immigration office for their 30 day extension of stay... And was not asked for the TM30. It's a mixed bag of signals... BUT if you do know that your TM30 is filed... NO problem then for you.

These are the common found requirements for the 30 days extension of stay at Thai Immigration office ...

Many Thai Immigration offices require a TM30 on file with them.

Be prepared to show PROOF of the TM30 filing IF you have not had it already filed.

I have placed the TOPIC of 30 day extension of stay and the IT Square Laksi Immigration office on your post ... CLICK on them and all posts about it will pop up to read.
