TLDR : Answer Summary
In Bangkok, the location for extending your visa depends on how you entered Thailand. If you purchased a visa from a Thai embassy or consulate before your trip, you should go to Chaeng Watthana. However, if you entered Thailand with a visa exempt stamp, you need to go to IT Square Laksi.

ok no visa you arrived from one of 93 countries on a NO VISA. Its a 60-day visa exempt entry.

So that's why there's 2 different immi offices and lots of people get confused and go to the wrong one. Look at the sheet I sent.

There is a 60-day Visa called a Tourist visa but that's applied for in your home country beforehand to the embassy or consulate and costs money. Hope it's as clear as mud ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ

If you purchased a visa from a Thai embassy or consulate before you traveled to Thailand, you go to Chaeng Watthana.

If you arrived without a visa and received a visa exempt stamp, you go to IT Square Laksi.
