Uk passport in phuket (arrived 28th november)got 60 days on arrival. When can you go to immigration to get another 30 days stamp.and do you have to fill in form can I do that myself

Thanks for any help
Answer summary
A UK passport holder who arrives in Phuket with a 60-day visa can apply for a 30-day extension at the immigration office when they have 45 days or less remaining on their existing stamp, meaning they should wait at least 15 days after arrival to start the process. To apply for the extension, they need to fill out a TM7 form and provide several documents including a passport photo, a copy of their passport bio page, and their entry stamp. The form can be downloaded online for convenience.

You can download the form online and fill in before you go to save time. I’ve done it a month before stamp runs out.

Plenty of places to get copies and photos before too. Have the right money and dress smart ish. Blue tree is a good one if you are close

I went to immigration in Jomtien I saw all the people there just for the information and thought I ain’t queuing up there and something not be right. Went down the road to an agent sat in there for ten minutes while they did the paperwork then they took me to immigration straight in photo taken no waiting back in car. The picked my passport up two days later stress free all for 4500 bht it’s a no brainer

I would go on the most convenient day for me within the 45 days I can go. Waiting for the last week at an office that gives you 45 days seems unwise.

Havent head about anybody being denied a extension of visa excempt for ages, unless they have several visa excempts in a row.

there's holidays, car accidents, flat tires, and any number of other things that could cause you to miss going if you wait until the last minute

This is a list of common requirements but each office may have their own requirements.

In Phuket you can apply for an extension when you have 45 days or less left on your existing stamp. So you need to wait at least 15 days after you arrive to apply for the extension.

Yes you have to fill out some forms. Yes you do it yourself at the immigration office.
