ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello everyone, I know this question has been asked many times before, but I’d appreciate your advice just in case anything has changed. I’m about to reach 2 months here in Chiang Mai, and I’m looking to extend my visa (I’m on a visa exemption/Colombian, which expires on October 27). I’ve heard that Central Festival is a good place to get it done. I’m aware the immigration office isn’t open on weekends, so I’m planning to do this between tomorrow and Friday, early in the morning. Could you please guide me on the current process, what documents are needed, and any additional tips? Thanks a lot in advance!

The only thing that normally varies for a 30 days extension on a visa exemption is if you’ll need to provide a receipt of your TM.30 or not.

Yes, but just bring a receipt of your TM.30 anyway and you will know when you apply. Saves you often a lot of time than contacting the immigration in advance before you go.🤣🤣

You’ll have to get the specific requirements from your immigration, but for tourists extension is normally only passport, copies of latest stamps and ID-page, a pass-photo, receipt of your TM.30 if asked for, 1900 baht in cash and you apply on a TM.7 form at the immigration.
