TLDR : Answer Summary

You can apply for a 30-day visa extension in Bangkok anytime before your visa exemption stamp expires, which is likely 45 days after your arrival. Typically, a TM30 form is not required for visa extensions in Bangkok, especially for those staying in an Airbnb. If necessary, you can visit IT Square or Laksi Plaza for your visa extension.

You can apply at anytime before your stamp runs out as Bangkok allow 45 days prior. Usually TM30 is not required in Bangkok. You go to IT Square, Laksi Plaza for exempt extensions.

Thank you. Good to know it's not needed in Bangkok. I messaged my Airbnb host, and surprisingly, she provides this to all her tenants. I guess I'm lucky. Since I can have it easily, would be preparing this just in case.
