What do I need for a 30-day tourism visa extension in Chiang Mai?

Thailand visa Tourism visa Visa extension TM.30 Chiang Mai immigration Visa rules Expat guide

ORIGINAL POSTER

TOURISM 30 day VISA EXTENSION

My plan is to visit the Chiang Mai immigration office in order to get my tourism Visa extension for another 30 days. The new Visa rules require a registration... 

Can anyone tell me if a hostel booking from the 17th-18th will be enough, even though I'm visiting the immigration centre on the 19th in the morning? Do I need a printed copy of the registration or will the booking confirmation do? :-)

Is this still accurate? For a 30 day extension on a 30 day exempt US passport- just need 1900 baht and 1 passport photo?

Thank you

copied out of the answers: Tod Daniels Umm, Barry unless I'm wrong, it's one passport photo stuck to the filled out TM.7 form and copies of your passport data page, your visa or entry stamp & your TM.6 departure card :)

Chays William Brown wow, I wasn't aware of that :O I just googled around and read the reports that people had posted and none of them were saying they needed a TM.30 receipt :/

Sorry for the possibly bad information

Chays, I would imagine they handle it like a tourist visa, but I'm not sure sorry.

AFAIK, in Chiang Mai they are NOT requiring TM.30 receipts for 30 day extensions on 30 day visa exempt or 60 day tourist visa entry stamps.

When was the last time you got a 30 day extension on one of those entry stamps in Chiang Mai

?

It is NOT the same for bangkok :/ There are more than a few reports that IF you are staying at a private residence OR if the hotel you're staying at didn't register you that you have to go file a TM.30, pay the 800baht failure to file on time fine, get the TM30 receipt THEN go get your extension.
