TLDR : Answer Summary
Extending an STV (Special Tourist Visa) in Thailand requires strict adherence to paperwork. Key documents needed include a copy of your passport, TM6 arrival/departure form, STV visa page, TM7 form with a photo, STM 2 declaration regarding overstay penalties, ASQ completion certificate, proof of ASQ stay (hotel receipt), comprehensive health insurance details, and a clear rental agreement that covers at least three months. If your rental is in Bangkok, you must extend there.

They dangle the carrot of this special visa but then when it comes to it it’s harder to renew than a normal visa haha. I honestly wish I would have never got it now.

Getting a 90 day extension of stay based on STV is extremely strict

Per James Miller

Recent report posted:

I was in Nonthaburi to extend my STV visa. Here's what the officer asked

1. Copy of passport

2. Copy of TM6

3. Copy of STV visa page on your passport

4. TM7, use the last updated one or get it from Immigration Office. With a photo affixed.

5. STM 2. Declaration that you're aware about overstay and the penalties.

6. ASQ certificate letter stating that you've completed 14 days quarantine.

7. Some kind of proof that you indeed stayed at the ASQ, i produced my ASQ hotel receipt ( room charges )

8. Health Insurance showing coverage amount, line by line items in details of IP, OP, Covid coverage amount.

9. Rental. To state clearly rental period when to when, at where, 4 signatures either passport or Thai ID at the end of agreement ( the usual standard contract ). If the rental's address is in Bangkok, you can only extend visa in Bangkok. Rental period should cover at least 3 months more.

And sign at every page.

Good Luck !

you will have to renew your policy. I don’t know how many STV holders are there, but in Bangkok we have a report of someone being rejected for an STV when she tried to get a new policy

let me get this right, so you’re saying I need to have the same insurance again that I had when I applied for the visa? (I had Safety Wing then had to cancel it because they announced it did not cover asymptomatic in ASQ and I switch to Thai Luma pass but that has expired now). Thanks

I bought my luma from her 😇

@Dahni ******
contact her tomorrow, see what she can do to help you. Let her know why you want the insurance and the immigration office you’re using.

@Dahni ******
that’s correct. I recommend contacting your insurance agent as soon as possible to see what they can do.
