⚠️ Take note: STV Extension
I went to the immigration office in Bangkok and I thought I have all the documents required but I still miss these few points. I would like to share my experience so you don’t have to go through this hassle.
1. Make sure you dressed appropriately (ladies, cover your shoulder with scarf or just wear a t-shirt)
2. If you’re staying in a hotel and use it as your current address in the form, make sure the hotel registered TM.30 in the system. Immigration will check on the system to make sure you’re staying there.
3. Make sure your ASQ hotel gave you a hotel confirmation letter as below. The actual certificate given is not acceptable. Make sure you have the original receipt copy of your ASQ photocopied.
and of course the other documents still needed as stated,
1. Original passport
2. Photocopy (1 copy needed only) of identity page passport, T.M 6 departure card, arrival stamp, visa approved page, ASQ receipt, ASQ confirmation of completion letter, your current hotel booking receipt, insurance
3. A photo of yourself
