What is the process for extending a visa exemption in Krabi, Thailand?

Krabi was easy office to negotiate. If you don't have a passport photo they will take one. We couldn't get a tm30 from our hotel as it had been filed by them electronically but we took a business card and if I remember correctly they called the manager to confirm. It is out of the way - can't walk anywhere from there

You will need a TM30 (if staying at a Hotel, they should be able to provide a copy of this for you…or the owner of the property if a private rental… can be done online).

Then turn up to immigration, fill in the form, and have 1900baht per person.

You will need 1 original Passport Photo (to stick on the form you will complete at immigration - they usually supply the glue, one copy of your passport photo id page and one copy of the page containing your Entry stamp into Thailand.

You can apply any time within 15days of expiry of your permitted stay and an additional 30 days will be awarded.

If you overstay, you can still request an extension but you will

Pay a fine on top, and your extension will be less your existing overstay period.

My understanding is that you can only have 2 extensions in a rolling 12 months, but you can leave and re enter Thailand. By air gives you 30 days. By land gives you 15 days…

I don’t believe Krabi ask for the TM30 but that’s just from posts previously on here. Happy to be corrected if they do.

I'm not sure if Krabi requires a TM30 but it wouldn't hurt to get a copy from your hotel or landlord.

Other than that you just go to the office and bring your passport. There's usually a copy shop at every immigration office that can help you make the correct copies and take a passport photo for you.

Make sure you have a blue pen as you'll need to sign every copy.

1900₿ is cash only.

This is a list of the most common requirements but each office has their own requirements.

Please note that immigration is closed next Monday so try to avoid going Tuesday as well since it will be busy. You can go any time within your 30 days at most offices.

You will need :-

A blue pen (some offices are pedantic about blue)

Your passport

Fill out form TM7 (available at the office)

Copy passport data page (signed by you)

Copy of entry stamp (signed by you)

Copy of your visa - either the sticker in your passport or pdf evisa (the former signed by you). * if you had one.

Copy of TM6 departure card (signed by you) *if you were issued one - if you entered by air after July ‘22 you wouldn’t have been given one so leave the space on the form blank.

Passport photo (most offices have facilities on site or nearby)

1,900 baht

Some offices may ask for a TM30, which your hotel or landlord should have filed on your behalf. A printed screenshot of their filing it online will generally suffice as evidence you have one - except if you use the Chiang Mai or Jomtien offices. You have to get the screenshot converted to the paper receipt from a manual TM30 filing.
