TLDR : Answer Summary

To extend a one-month visa in Bangkok, the required documents vary based on your visa type. If holding a tourist visa, you need to go to Chaengwattana - counter J, while for visa exempt status, it's IT Square Laksi Plaza 3rd floor, counter K. Required documents include: - Passport - Completed TM7 form (available at the office) - Signed copy of passport data page - Signed copy of entry stamp - Copy of your visa (if applicable) - Copy of TM6 departure card (if applicable) - Passport photo (facilities may be on-site) - 1,900 baht for the fee It may also be necessary to present a TM30 form, which your hotel or landlord should have filed.

Depends how you entered. With a tourist visa (60 days) you go to Chaengwattana - counter J, visa exempt (45 days) you go to IT Square Laksi Plaza 3rd floor, counter K.

Passport

Fill out form TM7 (available at the office)

Copy passport data page (signed by you)

Copy of entry stamp (signed by you)

Copy of your visa - either the sticker in your passport or pdf evisa (the former signed by you). * if you had one.

Copy of TM6 departure card (signed by you) *if you were issued one - if you entered by air after July ‘22 you wouldn’t have been given one so leave the space on the form blank.

Passport photo (most offices have facilities on site or nearby)

1,900 baht

Some offices may ask for a TM30, which your hotel or landlord should have filed on your behalf. A screenshot of their filing it online will generally suffice as evidence you have one - except if you use the Chiang Mai office. You have to get the screenshot converted to the paper receipt from a normal TM30 filing.

I entered on a 60 days sticker visa. Which of the immigration centre is unlikely to ask for the TM30 because the hotel I'm currently staying at didn't file for it. And my visa will expire on the 10th of April. Is it still possible to ask the hotel to file for TM30 ? Thank you for your info.

if a TM30 is not on file in your records in their database, you will be asked to provide one, and not issued your extension until you do. If it is in the system already they will not ask you to see it. I witnessed four people at Chiang Wattana refused their extensions until they could produce a TM30 in their name. Your hotel was legally supposed to file one within 24 hours after you started staying with them. This is a big problem with staying at Airbnbs

on a 60 day tourist visa you must go to Chaengwattana counter J. The hotel can file a TM30 for you today. Unless you have an extensive history of entries to Thailand you probably won’t be asked for it there.
