TLDR : Answer Summary
If you need to extend your 45-day visa exempt stamp in Thailand, the quickest way is to apply for a 30-day extension based on tourism at a local immigration office, such as Muang Thong Thani immigration in Bangkok. Prepare the necessary documents including your passport, copies of relevant pages, a TM30 form, 2 passport photos, and a fee of 1,900 THB. Be aware that different immigration offices may have varying requirements, which could include additional documents.

You can apply for a 30 day extension of stay based on tourism. IF you are using Bangkok Immigration, you will go to Muang Thong Thani immigration office. Each immigration office has their own policies, but most require the following:

1. Your passport and:

a. a copy of your data ("picture") page

b. a copy of your most recent visa (if you have one)

c. a copy of your most recent stamp

d. a copy of your departure card

2. A TM30, filed in the immigration office.

3. The forms (each immigration office may have different forms, and want to use their special forms)

4. 2x passport pictures

5. 1,900 THB.

Different immigration offices have different policies. *SOME* may require:

- The ID card of the property owner where you are staying

- Copies of *ALL* stamped pages in your passport
