Hey everybody,

I am now almost 3 month here in Thailand with the STV visa. So it ends on the 20 of May.

When do I have to go to extend the visa?

Can I go to every immigration office or just selected once?

And the most important, what do I need to extend my visa?

Thanks in advance
Answer summary
The poster inquires about the process and requirements for extending their STV visa in Thailand, which is set to expire on May 20. Key points from responses include: visiting an immigration office when 30 days or less remain on the visa, needing to go to the immigration office where a TM30 form has been filed, and a detailed list of documents required for the extension, such as copies of the passport, STV visa page, health insurance, rental agreements, and ASQ certificates.

Keep in mind that is BANGKOK and what you really need to extend your STV by another 90 days at another office may or may not be that exact list of requirements

, I know, you'd think that the thai government might actually have their OWN email address rather than using a gmail account :P

I was asking because some group members were suggesting that email was a fake when I posted it the other day. Thanks.

>When do I have to go to extend the visa?

At most immigration offices, when you have 30 days or less remaining on your entry stamp.

>Can I go to every immigration office or just selected once?

The immigration office where you live and have the TM 30 filed

>And the most important, what do I need to extend my visa?

You might not like this answer:

Here's a recent report I received from Nontaburi office:

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."

They are also willing to accept a pre-booked, prepaid hotel with the property owner's Tax ID number, or your property certificate if you live in a condo.

OP
@Benjamin *****
Thanks for the reply.

So if I go tommorow do they extend it from tommorow 3 month or from the day when it expires 3 months onwards?

T30? Not sure if I got that?

And why did you say I might not like the answer, because its a lot of documents?
