I will be requesting a 30 day extension as a U.S. citizen at the immigration office soon. I am currently in Thailand with an arrival visa. Is there anything I need to bring with me, Aside from my passport, and 1900 baht?

Answer summary

To obtain a 30-day visa extension in Thailand as a U.S. citizen, you need to bring your passport, 1900 baht, and potentially additional documents depending on the immigration office. It is recommended to have proof of accommodation (like a TM30 form from your hotel or landlord), as well as a photocopy of your passport. Immigration offices may have varying requirements, so it's good to check in advance and consider visiting a less crowded office.

A copy or screen shot of that TM30 that your hotel or landlord files for you is required at many offices. Other than that and your passport and cash, the forms to fill in will be available at your immigration office. Take them and your passport to a nearby photo copy shop who will know all the paper work copies and can do the required photo for you. They know what you need and will help

Best to do this at a smaller office, somewhere with very few foreigners OR somewhere like Samui. Avoid Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket and Pattaya. Huge crowds and lots of paperwork including TM30 requirements.

That will all depend on what immigration office you go to. As they all have there own requirements and that can change on a weekly basis.

If you arrived in Thailand without a visa you do not have an arrival visa. You have visa exempt which means no visa at all.

This shows the common requirements for a tourist extension but each office may have different requirements.
