Hi, I am looking for some advice from people who recently applied for a visa extension in Phuket town. I want to know what the deal is regarding proof of accommodation. Is it necessary that you bring that and how do I get the right documents and how do I know if a accommodation can arrange those documents? Now here on a 30 day visa exempt! TIA!
TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a visa extension in Phuket, proof of accommodation is essential. Specifically, while the STV (Special Tourist Visa) requires direct proof, you will still need to provide a TM30 form, which your landlord or hotel must file within 24 hours of your arrival. This form is a requirement for all foreigners residing in properties in Thailand. To ensure compliance, ask your landlord or hotel to print one of the accepted documents that show your accommodation status.
