TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion focuses on the requirements for obtaining a 30-day extension on a visa exemption or a 60-day tourist visa in Thailand. Commenters seek clarification on both the general extension process and the current visa exemption criteria.

I don't know what you're asking,

there are no requirements to get a visa exempt entry, you show up here and they stamp you in free for 30 days. You could be asked for proof of onward travel by the airline when you check in (as some carriers have that policy)

you shouldn't be asked for anything when you go to stamp in, here in thailand,

Not unless you're trying to live here on free visa exempt entry stamps <-which you will find out doesn't work for too long

they could ask for proof of funds 20k baht or the equivalent, proof of onward travel in 30 days and proof of lodging, but that is highly unlikely, you'll most likely skate right thru passport control

both are available as you walk in. He didn’t realize and was turned away. This happened to a few others also. Quick to fill in but still and extra 2 papers required.

hi Todd, the above needs to be updated. My friend went on Thursday(Lak si) and you must also fill out the following before you’re eligible for a ticket.

they hand those out when you're there. It says to take all 3 forms at that office, NOT every office uses it

There's a sign right in front of the 3 bins that have the TM7, the Overstay and the Conditions that says take ALL 3 🙂
