What are the requirements for a 90-day extension on a Special Tourist Visa (STV) in Thailand?

I'm shutting this down:

1. The STV *VISA* itself is a 90 day visa that lets you stay in Thailand.

2. For people who are already in Thailand, you will be apply for a

"90 day extension of stay based on having a STV"

which is a big difference.

3. It looks like the 90 day extension of stay based on having a STV" is implemented haphazardly between different immigration offices.

The specific, technical requirements from *Bangkok Immigration* are attached.

Everything should be self explanatory. Point 7 is:

- Proof of pre-paid hotel booking with Tax ID number, OR a rental contract, OR your house book.

Point 8 is:

- Proof of insurance that meets the same entry requirements that you used to get the STV.

How do different immigration offices implement these points?

Nobody knows.

*TALK* to your immigration office about what their expectations are. If they gave you some type of handout asking for some strange documents, go through each point with them, and ask them exactly what it means and the documents they expect.

Thank you!

...by the way, just received a report from an STV extension done today in Chiang Mai - no insurance, no accomodation asked (no flight ticket as well). And he was told he can apply for an extension again until latest September 30th and stay until December.

Yes I think this is generally the intention behind the STV - that you stay in once place. To even get ours in the first place we had to show we had booked a place to stay for the entire duration (including our possible extension). I think this is standard, but indeed doesn't allow for much flexibility if that is what you were looking for.

last month i do a stv extension they dont ask me show ticket

The STV is the worst visa to get right now, yes you will need to arrange your accomodations ahead of time.

AFAIK, they are not asking for onward travel when you get a 90 day extension on an STV,

BUT

They are asking for

Proof of ASQ

Proof of where you were staying

Proof of where you will be staying for the next 90 days

relevant copies of your passport/departure card

possibly a TM30 receipt (to show where you're staying now)

proof of insurance for the next 90 day extension
