Hi to all- this may be a stupid question so sorry in advance, but this is my first time on a O-A visa, i need to go to Korat Immigration in a few days for my first 90 day report, i read here recently, for the first time you have to go in person, what do i need to bring with me, just my passport and gf's proof of address, and that's it??? also when i arrived Sept 17 they stamped May 1, as only paid 9 months covid insurance, if i add another 3 months insurance, can i stay here the whole yr- thanks in advance, for this helpful group

There is a chance they may not be able to extend your visa and can only be done at a border checkpoint.

There was similar case in Phuket recently and they got the insurance but immigration office told them they had to do at airport, which the duly did and got there original stamp extended

Officer explained to them its different branches of immigration (?) Cannot hurt to try though as its a long way from Korat

ok thanks for the heads up on that, we know them well there as have been getting tourist visa's there for about 15 yrs, also i should have stated originally that my visa is from July 29 2021 to July 29 2022, but arrived here Sept 17, lady at Thai Consulate in Canada said no problem just paying for 9 months covid insurance at the time and then getting another 3 months insurance here, but think they really don't know, that is why May 1 is stamped in, starting from July 29-- thanks so much for your quick reply, see you are admin so great job with this group, very helpful

about extending insurance but whether you will get your visa extended is another matter. Michael's advice seems the best. I'm in similar situation, so I would be interested of your outcome.

that's good news. Samui is only 1.5 hour ferry away 👍. Obviously, I'll check fully first, if I decide to extend my entry stamp. Thanks 😊

unfortunately Thai consulates and embassies often give out misinformation about immigration rules in Thailand. They’re from a different government department and don’t seem to communicate. You’d be very lucky to get an extension, except a year one. Not sure on the rules in Korat. You might need to fill in a TM47, although many offices just require your passport.
