ORIGINAL POSTER

I am visiting from the US and will be extended my TR Visa for 30 days. I understand that I will need to go to the Immigration office at Government Center Chaengwattana Building B, No. 120. I will need original passport, Visa, copies of both as well as a passport picture. Is that all or is there anything else? I read that I should wait until 3 days before my current Visa expires to do all this, is this true? Like if mine expires Monday the earliest I should go is Friday. Also is it still possible to make copies and get a passport photo done there?

TLDR : Answer Summary

To extend your TR Visa for 30 days in Thailand, you will need to prepare your original passport, the visa, copies of the passport data page, visa sticker, entry stamp, TM6 departure card, and a passport-sized photo. Additionally, a filled-out TM7 application form and 1900 baht are required. It is recommended to wait until 3 business days before your current visa expires to apply for the extension, meaning if your visa expires on a Monday, you should go no earlier than the previous Friday. You can also get passport photos and copies made at the immigration office.

I believe it’s 3 business days, so the Saturday and Sunday don’t count. Others more familiar with CW hopefully can confirm.

no problem getting a photo and the copies done there, they are asking people wait until they have 3 days or less left on their stamp before you go,

Of course you need your passport 😕 they're gonna put an extension stamp in it 😉

You need copies of the data page of your passport, the visa sticker, the entry stamp the TM6 departure card, a filled out TM7 application for extension and a passport sized photo along with 1900baht.

If your current stamp expires on Monday, you should go to the immigration office the Friday before 😉 😛
