TLDR : Answer Summary
To extend your stay for an additional 30 days on a 60-day tourist visa in Thailand, you will need the following documents: 1) Your original passport and a photocopy of the data page, 2) A photocopy of your arrival stamp in the passport, 3) A completed TM7 form (available at immigration), 4) Two passport-sized photos (note that some offices may take digital photos), 5) Proof of accommodation (this may be seen in the system if you registered with your hotel via TM30), and 6) 1,900 Thai Baht cash. You should visit the immigration office responsible for your area, ideally a few weeks before your stay permit expires.

The 30-day extension of the stay permit from a tourist visa or a visa-exempt 60-day stay permit:

To do this, you have to visit the immigration office that is responsible for your place of stay.

Thai Immigration always talks about “visa extension”. They make no distinction between “visa” and “stay permit”, even though they are two different things. Technically, a visa cannot get extended. Only stay permit will get extended.

What do you need for the 30 day “tourist extension”?

Most immigration offices allow an extension if there are still 30 days left on your stay permit stamp

However, many immigration officers will tell you to come back a week before the stay permit expires. NOTE: You will not lose a single day by going early

To extend your stay permit by 30 days you need:

- Passport

- Copy of passport page with personal information

- Copy of the stamp/visa page

- Copy of the departure card TM6 (has been discontinued by air)

- Completed TM7 form (extension application) The TM7 form is available at immigration

- two passport size photographs (many immigration offices now do this digitally)

-1,900 Thai Baht, preferably the exact amount, because you don't get any change at most immigrations

It might occur that the officer also wants to see a TM30.

TM30 is the completed registration of your accommodation provider/hotel/guesthouse/resort, which must be done within 24 hours of your arrival at the residence of stay

However this is usually not asked, because if the officer, when he is entering your personal data on his computer, he will see that you were registered by the hotel using TM30

that should be in their system as the hotel or landlord must supply that information to immigration.

You will need.

Copy of your passport data page

Copy of your arrival stamp page.

Your TM30 from where your staying. Not all want but best to be prepared

2 passport size mug shots

1900baht cash

Complete the form at the immigration office you are staying near, some allow you to go weeks before your 60 days are up and some are in the last 7 days, be aware of public holidays when immigration will be closed

Have you already got your tourist visa? Because as an Aussie you get 60 days visa exempt so no real point in getting a tourist visa
