What Can I Expect from Samui Immigration Services on Koh Tao?
Not a question, just a positivje report from koh tao where a delegation of samui immigration is present.
Great organization with many local volunteers being super helpful, arrived at 11am, get my passport back around 1pm.
x2 :Tm7, copy of Visa and tm6, letter from embassy, photo +1900baths.
I get directly a 30 days stamp, not 15 +15.
Samui immigration staff will be in Phangan tomorrow and might come back on the islands in a month from now.

Tom ******
Did you need 2 copies of everything for the first extension? TM7 form, etc?
Vincent ***********
I guess you can wait a few days, for people stuck in Koh Tao we had to do it today since they came specifically on this day from Samui
Vincent ******
OP@Vicky ******
yes indeed, first extension possible without the letterVincent ***********
@Vicky ******
Yes you can, I did it yesterday.Benjamin ******
A 30 day extension of stay based on being a tourist does not require a letter from the embassy, and you will get the full 30 days added to your current stamp.

Indeed, amazing service they allow people to apply even 14 days before the last day.
