For visa extension on 60day visa exemption entry, do we apply at Immigration Division 1 or Laski. Can we apply early or 2 weeks before exit date? On the form, they ask to state reson for extension, what do you guys state or can leave it blank? Thanks

Hi members

Any word yet on 60 days visa exempt going back to 30 days.. if it stays at 60 days can still use my Australian passport and get 30 day

Extension ..

And no need to do E Visa.

I can show immigration where I'm staying in Thailand

My personsl experience.

OK just flew in on 60 day visa exemption.

The landing card completed fine.

I was questions by the IO on how long I was staying.

They asked where I was going and I presented an invitation letter from my fiance detailing where i would stay and scans of her address book and her identity card. They gave a little nod and finally checked where I was staying that night before my flight to phangan in the morning. Then stamped it.

Overall about 3 minutes, but I believe facilitated by clear paperwork.

The adage better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

Fir reference I spent 39 days in September to October 2024. And 30 days February to March 2025 before this trip on may 15th.

I have a 52 day trip planned for September but I am going to apply for a proper tourist visa as it may save hassle with visa exemptions

If on a 60 day visa exemption and you send your copy and application off, for a UK passort renewal. Can you still get a 30 day extension with the old passport, incase the renewal takes longer than 60 days?

Hi. Can we still get 60 days visa exempt on arrival at the moment, and have thay set a date when its going to change. Cheers.

Is the 60 day visa exemption still valid for the next few week?

Hi guys now they have stopped a 60 day visa on arrival, can you still apply on line as before?

Hey everyone. I'm currently in jomtien and want to extend my 60 day visa exemption by 30 days. I've done this before in bangkok by myself and it cost just 1900 baht at immigration. I got quotes of 4500 and 4900 by visa agents here to avoid queues. Then i went to immigration here and the 'yellow shirts' there quoted me 4000 to take care of it. This still seems like a lot. The reason they gave was that they need to get me a TM30 (residence form, I'm staying in a hotel) approved by immigration. Can anyone confirm this is true or am i better off just doing it myself? And do i need a tm30 and how do i get it if i do (from the hotel?)? I don't remember needing a TM30 when i did it in bangkok.

Good morning,

My 60-day visa exemption expires on March 29th. For personal reasons, I would be better off extending it in advance. If I extend it two weeks before it expires, will Laksi Immigration do it?

Is there anyone in the group who has extended it successfully in advance to a similar length of time?

Good day.
