Hey members, I just got my application submitted today in MTT for another 60 days extension. I have an appointment to go back and collect my passport on the 8th dec 2020 with the stamp.

I just want to share my experience, so that if you are planning to go down on the 25th nov 2020. It’s advisable to go through this check list to ensure smooth sailing throughout your application. Remember you must book online first for your queue!!!

1: No more family extension, you only have 1 reason, unable to travel due to COVID19 and request letter from your embassy for the extension.

2: if your embassy not issue any letter, it’s fine.. just print out the email that they sent you, stating that they are unable to issue you a letter. (I used an email which was 4 months ago sent to me by my embassy they are not able to issue me a letter)

3: Ensure you have TM30 reported in the system, if not go to the first building level 2 to file it into the system first, or do it online and screen shot it while you are on the way there. You can book online too, if not you might need to wait for easily a hour, it depends on the crowd. ONLY OWNER OF THE PROPERTY CAN FILE IT, IF NOT GET A POWER OF ATTORNEY FROM THE OWNER.

4: Print out your TM30, passport, visa stamp, embassy letter (if any) or print out the email that embassy sent you (item 2) and prepare 1,900 baht. You can also print out all these documents in building 1 level 1.

5: submit your documents, and get your passport back with a stamp stating you have to be back on the 8th dec 2020 to collect your stamp.

6: Please be there early! I spent about 3 hours or more there.

This is purely my experience, again as the admins here always said, it depends on each officer handling your case. However, I guess this should be the standard procedure. I have seen a number of foreigners got rejected for the application. Good Luck!

@Joe ****
sadly there is no appointment listing for a TM30 :/ You might try booking a 90 day report at MTT and then saying you need to do a TM30 but I don't know if it will work or not..

then they give to you a new stamp until 8th December and will you get the new stamp 60 days less the 14 days before? Correct?

well for my case was zero record of filing. So I was fine 800 baht. If you have record in the system and your application address matches is fine.

but btw we didn’t show any tm30 maybe is because my mom never moved from my address and she did always the extension in the same immigration but we filled the same papers from the pdf file when you do the booking online

Did you happen to hear what they were being rejected for?

@MarGuyvin **
I heard one of them failure to produce credit card payment or receipt payment for the hotel stay. Not sure why they need that. I guess it’s because the hotel did not file TM30.
