Koh Phangan Visa Extension Question:-

🏝️

Hi everyone, I know every immigration office can be very different with different rules.

I was wondering if anyone had recently extended their Visa Exception at Koh Phangan?

What documents did you need, how easy/difficult was it?

Thanks I’m advance 🙏🏼🙂

this is the typical things required at MOST offices. You have to realize that's a small b/s renegade office on that island that has a 'captive audience' because those islanders don't like even slogging to Samui for their extensions . .. ...
