TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is experiencing difficulties with booking an online appointment for an E-extension before their visa exempt expires on May 17. Comments provide mixed advice: one suggests visiting the immigration office directly instead of relying on the online system, while another shares a positive experience of successfully booking an appointment online and efficiently processing the extension in person, emphasizing the need to prepare paperwork in advance.

You have to pay 1900 baht for your extension at the immigration office. So you need to go there

I booked an appointment online and visited - all done and out in 1 hour. Highly suggest you book appointment online.

Fill in the forms at home and take copies of passport and entry stamp. This will save you another 10 mins 😁

Don't waste your time or money on the e-extension. You still have to go into the office anyways. Just go to immigration with the paperwork and get your extension like normal.

It depends on the office you use. I go to Sa Kaeo for a walk in and I 'm back in the car with my extension in 20-25 minutes

You can check to see if there are any appointments available.

Do they do appointments or do you have to wait in line?
