TLDR : Answer Summary
To apply for a 30-day extension on your 45-day passport stamp in Thailand, you'll need to prepare specific paperwork. The general requirements include: your passport, a passport size photo, signed copies of your passport information page and entry stamp in blue ink, and a printed copy of your visa (if you have one). Additionally, you should bring 1,900 baht for the fee. It's recommended to go early, fill out three forms at the office, and ensure your hotel has filed a TM30 form for your residence. Attendance in proper attire is advised.

In Bangkok from a visa exempt entry you use IT Square, Laksi Plaza. 3rd floor. Desk K. Whether you will need a filed TM30 is debatable. Some with previous entry history and/or covid extensions have said they been asked many others haven’t. No need to show onward flight information for a 30 day extension.

Only ONE 30 day extension possible, then you must leave LOS

Anywhere, but IF staying in Bangkok:

IT Square Laksi, 3rd floor for visa exempt entry stamp

You can make an online appointment

you need to bring:

** your passport (Duh) 🙄

*passport size photo

*signed in blue ink copy of passport information page

*signed in blue ink copy of entry stamp

* print out copy of visa (if applicable)

* 1,900 baht

* infinite patience with a smile

(photo and copy services available there)

Your hotel or residence should have filed your TM 30

#go early in the morning

# fill in 3 forms available at the office

# your address & local phone number

# don't wear a tank top or flip flops / shorts (though some do-- 555

smile for their web cam 😁

The TM 7 and 2 forms on which you acknowledge your understanding and agreement to Thai law & the penalties of overstay etc...

dress smart & smile politely. You'll be fine. Don't be paranoid.

 hi Phil, sorry to bother you. I get a bit paranoid at times, but I want to do what I can to make this process go smoothly. Do I fill out a TM7 before I get there? I have an appointment 11 April at 8:45. Also what do most people use as reason for extension? I don’t want to be turned down for that. “I want to see more of the country” good enough or do I need something like “I’m thinking about living here”? Also my landlady refused to fill out the TM30. She gave me a copy of her passport, rental agreement, and one other thing. Oh, do I sign the required documents in front of the agent ? I just want this right. You have been so helpful. Thanks

You'll get and can fill out the forms there, building opens around 8am maybe...

I think it's fine to sign the forms before you sit in front of them.

Don't be paranoid.

Remember to bring your passport, one photo, & the 1900 baht fee.

Copy / photo service available right there.

"I would like to travel and sightsee more in your country, please"

Check the website for times. You can get in the building early, no worries. No idea when other services are available

She's required by law to file the TM 30 🙄

Get a copy or screenshot of the TM 30 just in case.

Just tell immigration your true reason

 I don’t have a copy sod the TM 30 ; I explained to landlady she just won’t fill one out.

Also I have an appointment scheduled for 8:45 in morning. Do I need all document signed before or at appointment. You said there is a copy machine and a place for pics there? Do you know what time it opens?

 thanks for you help. To clarify do I need to get my T30 from the condo/hotel or will immigration already have it? So I need to make copies of the above documents and then sign them with blue pen? What is a T6, someone mentioned that. Is it better to make an appointment? I’m in Sathorn Bangkok.

 If you arrived by air after October of last year, you did not receive one. It is temporarily suspended for air arrivals currently.
