Hey Folks. Does anyone have any knowledge/experience with getting their 30 day entry extension done in Phuket? Which branches do that service & what "paperwork" is necessary for an Australian Passport holder to provide on the day? Thanks in advance for all the information & help!!

TLDR : Answer Summary
To obtain a 30-day entry extension in Phuket, Australian passport holders can visit one of three offices: the main one in Phuket Town, the Patong Beach office, or the Blue Tree water park office. The necessary paperwork includes filling out the TM7 form, providing a passport photo, making photocopies of the passport photo page and entry stamp (both signed), and paying a fee of 1,900 baht in cash.

There are three offices in Phuket that can process a 30 day extension. The main office in Phuket Town (the busiest), the Patong Beach office (less busy but in high season can still take a while) or the Blue Tree water park office ( the least busiest).

You need to fill out the form called a TM7. You need a passport photo. You need a photocopy of your passport photo page and a copy of your entry stamp. Sign both copies. You also need to pay the fee of 1,900 baht in cash only.

Forgot to mention that if you came in via a land border (other than Malaysia) you’ll have needed to fill in a TM6 arrival and departure card. You’ll need a copy of that (signed) if you had one. If you entered by air you wouldn’t have needed one so leave the space on the TM7 asking for it blank.
