I was trying to apply in Surat Thani and contacted them upfront. They told me to do it in Samui as my “local” office… and Samui doesnt really want to do it or makes it super hard

what you told me before, if I remember correctly, was that Samui immigration asked for a long lis of documents. This should be the normal procedure.

thanks. I think it's for the 1 year extension. Samui doesn't do the 90 day initial visa unfortunately.
