Hello everyone, I will share my process about extending my STV visa ( Special Tourist Visa )

First my visa was running out the 2 August, I went to the immigration office at Chaeng Wattana the 29 July.

I went to be early in the morning I arrived at 8:10, and went straight to queue up. I recommend you to go early as there was lot of peoples just after me.

I didn't have any form or been able to find one in the buildings ( be careful )

After waiting 10-20 minutes max, I then got my passport check up and based on my visa I got send to the J counter to extend my visa, I was number 9.

Soon after, I got called at the desk of the immigration offcier to which I provided the documents needed ( thx to peoples on the group for helping me have all of that )

The documents needed:

* Passport copy ( Main page, VISA page, Entry stamp page )

* Copy of TM6 Departure card ( I printed BOTH sides of the card on one paper )

* ASQ proof ( CAREFUL ON THIS !! I had the paperwork from Hotel which said I did quarantine and two covid test, the officier wanted one more paperwork that was the RECEIPT of payment where you see the money paid etc.. kinda weird but be careful on this, it was the only bad moment of the extension ) I was able to print out my document at the entry of the building for 10 baths or something.

* The health insurance, I made an extend 1 day after my previous one was running out so it's continuous and cover all my stay in Thailand

* Rental Contract for my condo ( he kept it lol )

* One picture passport size ( I had 6 of them just in case )

* 1900 THB

Officer extended me for 3 months until October but told me I could not extend past 30 September as the end of the visa extension. I could extend it one more time before 30 september.

So to summarize my experience it was a quick in and out in less then 2 hours.

It was way better then last year covid extension lol.

But I went really really early so for people whom may need to extend go early would be my tips.

I want to thanks peoples on the group for helping me extend my visa and get all my paperwork as I was little scared of how to do.

Thank you
Answer summary
The user shares their experience extending their Special Tourist Visa (STV) at the Chaeng Wattana immigration office in Bangkok. They recommend arriving early to avoid long queues and detail the necessary paperwork required for the extension, including passport copies, ASQ proof, health insurance, rental contract, a passport-sized photo, and a fee of 1900 THB. They successfully extended their visa for three months but were informed that there would be no further extensions past September 30. They express gratitude for the community's support in preparing for the process and caution that instructions may vary by immigration office.

Again people, different immigration offices have different policies. This is ONLY for Bangkok. I do not want to see comments on how things are like at other immigration offices. Thank you

Thank you very very much for this update <3

This is ONLY for the 90 day extension of stay based on STV, and ONLY for Bangkok immigration. Your immigration office may be different.
