TLDR : Answer Summary
To apply for an extra 30 days at immigration in Thailand, you need to bring your passport, 1,900 Baht fee, a completed application form, a passport photo (3.5 cm x 4.5 cm), a photocopy of the main page of your passport, and a photocopy of the page showing your current visa stamp. Additionally, if you are staying in private accommodation, it's recommended to have a copy of your TM30 form and proof of accommodation booking.

If you are staying in private accommodation you need to take a copy of the TM30

You not always need TM30, I extended 2 times at Hat Yai, they did not ask for TM30.

@Luit ****************
That is true if you stay in a hotel.

@Ian *********
I did not stay in a hotel, but in our own house.

@Luit ****************
So have you ever done a tm30?
Luit *****************
@Ian *********
first time I did not even do TM30, they never asked anything when I extended.

Now I always register TM30 when we arrive

if it's your girlfriend condo and she rents can her landlord supply it for me ?

@Pat *******
The owner of the building is responsible for reporting a foreigner staying at his property within 24 hours of arrival. He/she will need the blue book house registration, ID card and your passport. If this has not been done I suggest you check into a cheap hotel for a couple of nights before you apply for the extension. Even though it is the building owners responsibility they will fine you so cheaper to stay in a hotel.

@Pat *******
same you need tm30 document.

Regardless private or hotel

@Marc *******
That's is not true. Hotels register you online. That is why they photo copy your passport when you check in. Immigration may want to see your proof of booking.

@Ian *********
You still need the tm30 document the hotel provides for you

Hotel will do it online and give you a printout or screenshot.

This you have to show to immigration

So refrain from giving out wrong information🤦🏻

I find it amusing people always so go early, either so early you have an imaginary queue, or end up in the massive queue because people always say this, and I go in afternoons no problem haha
