Hi all,

Currently covered by the visa amnesty until end of month but hoping to apply for a 30 day extension as I hadn’t done so on this visa before the amnesty was announced. Is there an office that’s ‘best’ to go to for this or are they all much the same?

Thanks in advance.

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user inquires about the best office to apply for a 30-day extension for their visa during the amnesty period, indicating they hadn't extended their visa previously. A commenter notes that extensions should be handled at the local office where the user resides.

To get any extension of stay, you'd used the office where you live.

You NEED to make an appointment in advance. At Muang Thong Thani it's said: "at a Muang Thong Thani Temporary Center must be booked an online queue in advance only."

There's only one that you would use; the one at Muang Thong Thani for extension of stays
