[Visa Extension] I did my research just have some confirmation questions. I'm a US citizen, I came to Thailand on 8/29 so my 30 day is up on 9/29. I'm in Pattaya.
1. Getting all my paperwork in order before I go in person to the Chonburi Immigration Office on Soi 5 in Jomtien.
Copy passport data page
Copy of entry stamp
Passport Photo
(Can I just print them Online/Fill them out then bring them in person. I see there is a Chonburi Immigration Mobile App, can I fill them out and submit them on the App?)
Copy of TM6 departure card
Fill out form TM7
TM30 (I am staying with a friend and don't have a lease or proof of rental, what else can I provide)
1,900 baht for payment
2. WHAT exactly is the Chonburi Immigration android mobile app useful for?
3. I will print forms, get photocopies, complete it all at home tomorrow then go in person on 8/27 (my 30 day expires 8/29)
HOPE to get it completed in 1 trip in person.
4. Let's say I go in soon as they open at 830am
What time should I be expected to finish by? (How many hours is the wait/completion typically?)
Is there an optimal time to go in with Minimal wait time?
5. I guess this will extend my stay for another 30 days, 10/29/22. Can I extend longer than 30 days or is there an easier long term Visa Option that I can do or start while I'm at the Office?
Thanks in Advance 🙏🏽
