What's the process of extending my visa on arrival in Bangkok? UK passport

I got 60 days, I'm on my 2nd month now.

I've done it before last year in Chiangmai but the difference is I'm living at my girlfriend's and her landlord doesn't know what a tm30 is.

So not sure what the next step here should be.

It says a tm30 may or may not be required.

Is it required in Bangkok?

How do I get it myself?

Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
The process for extending your visa exemption in Bangkok, specifically for UK passport holders, involves applying for a 30-day extension at the IT Square Laksi Plaza Immigration office for a fee of 1900 baht. Although a TM30 report may be requested, it is not consistently enforced, meaning that depending on your landlord's willingness to handle this report, you might either provide one or possibly bypass it. If your landlord is unwilling to file the TM30, staying at a hotel that can file it for you is an alternative option.

If the landlord of your gf is not willing to do your TM30 report there is a alternative by staying in a hotel. But ask the hotel first. They normally do it online and can provide you with a pdf file. Proof of report.

First you don't have a visa on arrival, and in fact you don't have ANY visa at all. If you showed up here and got stamped in FREE for 60 days you got in on what's called a visa exempt entry stamp

You go to the IT Square Laksi Plaza Immigration office and apply for a 30 day extension for 1900baht

It's here

correct, it's a crap shoot as far as IF they want one or not but they are getting harder about it out there

You don't get it yourself if you're staying with someone the landlord applies for you.

All you can do is go out there w/your g/f and her lease and see if you can get the extension without a TM30 or not.
