Anyone know of any decent agency that does 30 days visa extension in Bangkok . I’ve been quoted ฿6,000 but seems a bit much as I just want to queue jump.

TLDR : Answer Summary
Many users recommend that extending a 30-day tourist visa in Bangkok can be done easily without the help of an agency. The standard fee for this extension is ฿1,900, significantly lower than the quoted ฿6,000 from some agencies. To do it yourself, you'll need to prepare certain documents including a photocopy of your passport and entry stamp, accommodation receipt, fill out a TM7 form available at the immigration office, and provide a recent photo. Users suggest booking an appointment online and avoiding busy days like Mondays for a smoother process.

Do it yourself it’s very simple, why pay 3 times the price to deliver the papers you have to supply yourself anyway.

Wake up early to be in the queue. Leave Nana plaza or Soi Cowboy at 9 in the evening the night before...

I have lived in Thailand 3 years and never heard of anyone paying someone for an extension. It’s simple as heck. They will help you at immigration just go up there and say I want to do an extension.

Visa extension is easy, you can do it yourself.

Just go to immigration website and download the tm7 form, you can autofill it in your phone. Print it and add a photo, bring your tm30 and passport and go to immigration and get your extension.

Can I do it also online, when I apply for 360 days, refering to my Retirement Visa?

@Galen ******
no you can't do it online. You have to go to the immigration office

@Rolf ********
He clearly said "when I apply for 360 days" which is in reference to an extension. Has nothing to do with tm30.

You do not need an agent to do a 30 day extension, I assume to a 60 visa exempt, just Google it, or better still ask your nearest immigration !

I am curious to know, which day and at what time you've been there.

Why anybody would use an agent for anything is beyond me.

@Brad ******
... I don't think that was the answer to the ❓
Jim ********
I wouldn’t use one for an extension but I’ve used them in the past for bank accounts and driving licence etc. takes the stress out of things and I couldn’t get a bank account without an agent
Ben *******
@Jim *******
... Bank account was 35 mins in the bank with an agent and 15 minutes at immigration. That's why I used an agent.
