Hello everyone.

As part of an exemption visa (I am French), I would like to stay 30 days longer. What is the procedure to follow in Thailand after my 45 days (I will be in Pattaya)?

Thank you all.
Answer summary
A French expat inquiring about extending their exemption visa by 30 days in Pattaya can apply for an extension at the local immigration office before their current entry stamp expires. The process costs 1900 baht and it's recommended to visit the office during the week prior to the expiration date. It's important to bring documentation such as the TM30 form showing proof of accommodation. The visa extension procedure has remained consistent, even during changes due to COVID-19.

I will come around mid-June. Is this procedure officially maintained and active all the time?

I wanted to be sure, because I'm going to work in Pattaya from next September, but I can only get my visa in August. I wanted to come in the middle of July, but I'd rather come a month earlier if possible! So, I really want to be sure, that on the spot I will be able to do the 30 days extension ^^.

Yes, you can do the 30 day extension of stay based on tourism, and I'm not expecting that to change

no, it is not on the embassy website, but it is on the immigration website. Www.immigration.go.th. It may also be on the various local immigration websites too

6th April is also holiday.

Be sure you get TM30 (or proof of where you are staying) once you arrive there.

Before this current entry stamp you have expires go to the immigration office in the area where you're staying and apply for a 30 day extension for 1900 baht
