What documents do I need to apply for a Thai visa extension at an immigration office?

Question

If they reduce the entry stamp back to 30 days, due to the fact I have already bought my ticket for a 40-day stay, I will pop into a Thai embassy in Chumphon and get an extension, apart from proof of a ticket back to the UK, my passport, and 1900 bhat what else to I need to take

Ask Thailand · Answer

When planning to stay in Thailand for longer than your initial visa validity, it's essential to know the correct procedures for obtaining a visa extension. While there's a discussion about possible changes in entry stamps and visa durations, the current situation suggests that applying for a tourist visa before traveling is the best approach. To apply for a visa extension at a local immigration office, you'll typically need your passport, proof of onward travel, and a fee (usually around 1900 baht). It's also advisable to stay informed about any changes in visa policies and prepare for possible requirements like the TM30 form.

Why worry about something that may never happend.

You can always apply for a 60 days tourist visa before going, at most embassies it only take a week or 2 for Touristvisa.

Ernst ********* · Answer

Steven Turner Thailand's tourism has slowed down dramatically so I suspect they will delay any movement on the 60 day stay.

If they do change it closer to your departure, then do as has been suggested. Get a visa before you leave.

If you don't, then just go to an immigration office in Thailand and apply for your 30 day extension.

If they change it, you may not even get to Thailand as your airline may check your onward travel ticket and refuse boarding.

Matthew ********* · Answer

No need to worry, they are not going to change it any time soon.  Their numbers are to low to even consider it now.  It's funny last year there was talk and doing 90 day visa on arrival to match Vietnam.  They never know what they are going to do.

Good luck trying to find a Thai Embassy in Thailand.

John ********** · Answer

In my opinion, I really can't see things changing anytime soon. It's low season, tourism is down and won't meet yearly projections. A lot of noise being made about the long drawn out processes TM30, 90 day reporting, and of course the price gouging in tourist areas and travel expenses all add to downturns

Brown ******** · Answer

A tm30 most likely although might not be the case for a tourist visa but definitely check with someone on that as immigration love stinging farang with their 1600 baht penalties that are supposed to be the landlords fine

Jim ******** · Answer

Tourism is down so I can’t see them changing anything soon especially now Vietnam is becoming very popular

Nicholas ********* · Answer

At the moment it's still 60 days keep an eye on it
