Hey guys! It’s the visa extension usually approved? For the extra month. I’m from Europe. It’s my first time in Thailand in a few years and wanna extend my two months visa exemption, would like to book a flight to another country so I wanna know if they usually accept this extension or they can give you trouble.

Answer summary

The question pertains to the likelihood of getting approved for a 30-day extension of a visa exemption in Thailand. Based on community comments, it appears that applying for the extension is generally successful, with only a simple paperwork process required. Credit to local immigration offices, applicants need to be within 21 days of their visa's expiry date, provide a recent photo, proof of residency, and a fee of 1900 Baht.

Not quite true. The number of days is dependent on office. Some like Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, etc allow 45 days prior. Most allow 30. Some like Jomtien, Samui and Koh Phangan only allow 7 days prior.

Some offices require you to fill STM2 and STM9 as well. They’re not difficult to do and will be on hand at the office if needed.
