ORIGINAL POSTERso im off to extend my O visa for 60 days on dependency at changwattana tomorrow, is it the same proces as hua hin, or do i need anything extra as i recently moved back to bangkok
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires about the process for extending their O visa for 60 days on dependency at Chaengwattana, Bangkok, after recently moving back from Hua Hin. Users in the comments suggest that they may need additional documentation such as a lease, proof of TM30 filing, and identification documents, including a child's birth certificate. Concerns are raised about possible complications due to overstaying, but ultimately, it appears that the TM30 was required for the extension, which can be processed quickly even in a busy office.

, the good news IS, if you have a queue ticket you'll get served today. (although it might be late :O ) A friend was there yesterday and walked out with his extension at 7:45PM (even though they close at 4:30).Glad you got the documentation needed to have filed that TM.30. It would have thrown you off the rails without it.

Now that you're on an overstay it's totally going to be up to the immigration officer you get on whether they'll let you pay the overstay THEN get the 60 day extension, or just charge you the overstay and deny you the extension.
Seeing as you can apply for extensions in Bangkok when you have 45 days or less left on your current stamp why did you burn down all your time? They ADD the extension on to your existing expiration date so you don't lose any days going early...

, go down to the basement of Chaengwattana and go to the copy shops. They know what copies you need from your passport. It's the data page, the visa, your entry stamp and your TM.6 departure card.Scott **********

@Scott *********
, that you never have been asked for it in Hua Hin unfortunately doesn't count much as far as what Bangkok immigrations might ask you for. Seeing as you just moved you have a good chance of being asked for the TM.30 receipt.
If you could I would take the lease, a copy of the land lords thai i/d and their house book listing just in case you are asked about it and then IF you have to file it you can.
Scott **********
ORIGINAL POSTERRichard Munster its just a 60 day extension not the 12 month one, i have nver been asked for it in hua hin
