Why was I directed to counter J2 instead of K1 for my 30-day tourist visa extension at Changwattana immigration?

These are the sections I deal with often and what they do;

A - 90 day report, address change, TM.30

C-1 - issuing 90 day visas in country

C-2 - re-entry permits

J - tourist visa extensions, residence certificates

K - visa exempt extensions

L - extensions based on marriage, retirement & raising kids

M - extensions based on employment (except teachers)

N-1 - extensions for teachers

N-2 - ED visa extensions

I was wondering exactly the same thing when I extended mine yesterday 😁

As a rule counter J does extensions when you have a 60 day tourist visa and counter K does extensions when you are on a 30 day visa exempt stamp.

Maybe they have read your Facebook status. Living in Bangkok as a travel blogger asking for a Tourist visa extension?

Folks at K1 getting tired of listening to you? Just saying... 555+
