TLDR : Answer Summary
For extending a 45-day visa exemption as an American in Bangkok, the recommended immigration office is Muang Thong Thani. Online appointments are required, specifically at Counter K. When you visit, ensure to bring your passport, relevant copies (passport page, previous visa, recent stamp, and departure card), a completed Extension of Stay form, a passport photo, and 1,900 THB for the fee.

You will need to bring the following with you:

Different immigration offices have different requirements, but all require the following:

1. Your passport and:

a. a copy of your data ("picture") page

b. a copy of your most recent visa (if you have one)

c. a copy of your most recent stamp

d. a copy of your departure card

2. [MAYBE] A TM30, filed in the immigration office.

3. The Extension of Stay forms. For Bangkok immigration, you can find it in the FILES section of this group.

4. 1 passport pictures

5. 1,900 THB.

Hi Ben. I have looked in the Files section, and seen the list of forms. However I don't see one called "Extension of Stay". I even tried to search it specifically. But no results were returned. Please advise. Thanks!

And as far as the Online Queue website not working, I think their SSL certificate must have expired. So it says "Not Secure". And you can't get through. Hopefully they'll have it fixed by tomorrow.

Okay. I think I found it. I believe it's the TM 7 form.

Yes. I meant to say Visa Exempt. So many terminologies. You ROCK, Ben. Thanks!
