I'm here in Thailand on a Non-Immigrant Type O visa, and I'm about to apply for a 1 year extension. What office should I go to? From my research, I think I need to go to CW (counter K), but I just want to confirm. Also, when does the office I need to go to open / how early should I show up?
Answer summary
To apply for a one-year extension on a Non-Immigrant Type O visa in Thailand, you need to visit the immigration office that serves your area, which may not be Counter K. Instead, if you are married to a Thai national or have other valid reasons, you should go to section L at the Chaengwattana office. The immigration office opens at 8:30 AM, but it is advisable to arrive early, as people start lining up before 6 AM. Queue numbers are given out at 7 AM.

The immigration office opens at 8:30AM people start lining up usually before 6, they give out queue numbers at 7, and line you up at 8 to let you in at 8:30.

Get there as early as you want, it's gonna take as long as it takes, and remember to take your thai wife with you (she's the reason you're getting an extension :P ) You will only get a 30 day under consideration stamp on the date you apply, then you go back on that date and get the rest of the year extension inked in

Counter K would not be the place :( That is visa exempt, visa on arrival, 30 day extensions
