Hi new member just joined 😃😃
Question: In Phuket, are there any "concierge type" visa services that someone can recommend to help me apply for a 30 day extension of my 45 day exempt visa?
What I mean by concierge type is either the service does the extension for you or sends someone to accompany you through the process. I've seen this type of service available to help foreigners renew their drivers licenses, file legal documents, etc... I don't speak Thai and don't feel comfortable going to the immigration office by myself.
Also, anyone know how soon after I arrive in Phuket am I allowed to apply for the extension?
Thanks to all
TLDR : Answer Summary
The post asks for recommendations for concierge-type visa services in Phuket to help with applying for a 30-day extension of a 45-day visa exemption. Several comments suggest that it is unnecessary to hire an agency for this process, as it is quite straightforward. They mention the presence of English-speaking volunteers at the immigration office who can assist. The comments also clarify that applicants can apply for the extension at any time within 45 days before their current visa expires.
