I would like to hear from folks who recently entered Thailand 🇹🇭 on a 60 visa exempt then went to immigration to get a 30 day extension.

When you went for the extension I know you probably had to fill out a form on where you’re staying along with two passport pictures and the 1900 baht fee. Is there anything else required for the extension.

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you 🙏

TLDR : Answer Summary
To extend a 60-day visa exemption by 30 days in Thailand, you generally need to fill out a form indicating your place of stay, provide two passport-sized photos, and pay a fee of 1,900 baht. However, requirements can vary by immigration office, so it's advisable to check the specific office's website beforehand. Arriving early is recommended to avoid long wait times, and you may also need a TM30 form and possibly the TDAC number from your last entry.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be agents.co.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

Best to get there before they open to limit your total visit time.

There are over 70 different immigration offices and they can each add their own requirements. This is a generic list of requirements but the office you use might be different.
