What paperwork is needed to extend a tourist visa in Thailand for my grandmother?

Question

Hello, I am helping my grandmother extend her tourist visa. She has already paid for the normal 30 day extension. We want to go and do the 60 day extension that the Thai government is offering until the end of May. Does anyone know what paperwork is needed when we go to immigration to receive the visa? I went there today to ask and was given mixed answers. 

We are also in the process of switching her to a retirement visa but hoping for some more time with this possible extension.

To extend your grandmother's tourist visa to the 60-day option currently offered by the Thai government, you'll need to provide similar paperwork as the 30-day extension, plus a couple of additional forms. Key documents include: a copy of the passport data page, a passport photo, proof of filing a TM30, a signed TM6 departure card, and a signed copy of the latest entry stamp. You'll also need to fill out forms TM7 for the extension application, STM2 to acknowledge overstay rules, and a form explaining your reason for the extension. Note that some locations, like Phuket, may have specific requirements regarding document size and format. The fee for the extension is 1,900 baht.

As [mention redacted] correctly stated it's nearly the same paperwork as you submitted for the 30 day 'regular' extension. So just head back to your immigration office with that stuff and they'll give you the extra forms :)

You’ll need this stuff. Not all offices have the same requirements so it may be slightly different depending on which of the 70+ offices you use.

A copy of your passport data page (signed),

A passport photo,

Proof of filing a TM30,

A copy of your departure card (TM6) (signed)

A copy of your latest entry stamp (signed)

A copy of any previous Covid extension stamps (signed) (Phuket requires this other offices may not)

In Phuket they require the copies to be in portrait not landscape. This means the top of your passport aligns along the shorter side of the A4.

(Other offices may not be as pedantic)

A filled out TM7 (application form for extensions) - the form doesn’t have a space for your email or phone number but just write it on the back (page 2).

A filled out STM2 (acknowledgement that you understand the rules for overstaying)

A filled out “I don’t want to leave because of Covid form” - I have no idea if it has an official name or number.

And 1,900 baht.

The forms are available at your local office. Most have places on site or nearby that can do the copies and photos.

Same process as the 30 day extension she had before plus two extra forms, one to agree with overstay rules and one to give a reason why you need this extension, all available at your immigration office
