What are the steps to apply for a 30-day extension of a visa exemption in Thailand for a French passport holder?

Question

Hello, I have a question regarding my situation.

I hold a French passport and entered Thailand on a 60-day visa exemption (stamped on arrival, no e-visa). I would like to apply for a 30-day tourist extension of stay, but I’m a bit confused about the process.

Since I live in Bangkok:

• Which immigration office should I go to?

• What exact documents do I need to provide?

• Do they strictly require a return ticket?

Thanks a lot for your help! 😀

A French passport holder currently on a 60-day visa exemption in Thailand is seeking guidance on applying for a 30-day extension. They need to know which immigration office to visit in Bangkok, the required documents, and whether a return ticket is mandatory. Responses indicate that the IT Square Laksi Plaza office is the correct location and that commonly needed documents include a TM30 form, a passport-sized photo, and cash (1900 baht). A return ticket is typically not required.
