What do I need to know about extending my 60-day visa exemption in Thailand from Bangkok?

Question

Hello, I have a question regarding my situation.

I hold a French passport and entered Thailand on a 60-day visa exemption (stamped on arrival, no e-visa). I would like to apply for a 30-day tourist extension of stay, but I’m a bit confused about the process.

Since I live in Bangkok:

• Which immigration office should I go to?

• What exact documents do I need to provide?

• Do they strictly require a return ticket?

Thanks a lot for your help! 😀

A French passport holder currently in Thailand on a 60-day visa exemption is seeking guidance on applying for a 30-day tourist extension. They need to know which immigration office to visit in Bangkok, the required documents for the application, and whether a return ticket is mandatory. Responses indicate that the IT Square Laksi Plaza office is the appropriate location, with a few key documents required including cash, a passport photo, and a TM30 form from their accommodation. It's also noted that a return ticket is generally not required for the extension.
