ORIGINAL POSTER

Hopefully, this is helpful to someone in the group: if you are trying to get a visa extension in Bangkok (as I am after entering Thailand on a tourist visa exemption), then you need to go to the 3rd floor of the IT Square Mall (see attached picture). Obviously, this is subject to change. I lost valuable time at Immigration Division 1 before being redirected to this location today.

TLDR : Answer Summary

To extend a visa in Bangkok after entering via a tourist visa exemption, head to the 3rd floor of IT Square Mall to apply for a 30-day extension. Users who entered with a visa exemption should go to specific offices, with notable instructions to file a TM30 form.

Tourist Visa Exemption....

Is a bit of a mix up...

To avoid confusion

Visa Exemption

Or

Tourist Visa

It only really makes a difference in Bangkok, where the holders need to go to different offices

THESE are the common found requirements for the 30 days extension of stay. Both Bangkok Thai Immigration offices require a TM30 be filed with them.
