Hi guys, I searched this group but couldn't find the answers I'm looking for so here's my question:

My family and I got a 30 day tourist visa on arrival. We are planning on applying for a 60 day extension at the Ubon Ratchathani Immigration. Is there an application form that we will have to fill out there? Is it available online? Are there any new restrictions for 2018?

I have 3 boys under 7 years old so completing all of our applications at the Immigration office will be difficult.

Thanks!
Answer summary
The original post inquires about extending a 30-day tourist visa exempt entry for a family in Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand. Commenters clarify that a 30-day visa exempt entry can be extended by another 30 days at the immigration office for a fee of 1900 THB per person. They emphasize the importance of understanding that this is distinct from a tourist visa obtained before arrival. There are no recent restrictions noted for 2018, but the user expresses concern about managing the paperwork due to traveling with young children.

okay there's no such thing as a 30 day tourist visa on arrival :/ If you showed up here without having bought a tourist visa from a thai consulate before you winged your way here you got stamped in on a 30 day visa exempt entry.

Be that as it may, you can extend that entry by 30 more days at the immigration office for 1900baht. Then that's it. If you wanted to stay longer you'd have to leave the country and either go to a thai consulate and BUY a visa for thailand or come back in on a 30 day visa exempt entry

Do you mean a 30 day visa exempt entry stamp? If so, you can extend your stay by another 30 days for 1900 THB (per person), making for a total of 60 days.
