Hi,

I am currently in Thailand on a 30 day visa exempt stamp with an Australian passport. I intend to lodge a 30 day extension at the Laksi office on Friday.

I am preparing a TM.30 through a hotel. I will also have some passport photos and copies of my passport. Is the other form I require the 2 page TM.7?

I’ve searched the history of this group but I have been unable to find a comprehensive answer to this question.

Thanks for your advice.

I am currently on a 30 day visa exempt stamp. I will need to extend it by 30 days. At Chaengwattana immigration how many days before it expires should you extend? Does Chaengwattana require TM 30 to extend? Thank you for the help.

Hi Friends, I am planning to visit Thailand in August for a week and am an Australian citizen. So do I need to apply for a visa prior to arrival or is it on arrival?

Also, can someone please provide few reliable way to get the fast track service in the airport when I arrive?

Thanks in Advance.

#60DayExtensionVisitThaiWife

FYI - I went to CW this morning to apply for a 60 day extension to a 30 day exempt stamp for the purpose of visiting Thai wife/family.

I had the usual gambit of the docs accompanying the TM7 including copies of passport, arrival stamp, wife ID, tabien baan, marriage certificate (and also a copy of my THB400K fixed deposit as additional supporting ammo).

Anyway, the guy at the front desk in CW insisted that we must go to IT Square instead for such application, because I was stamped into Suvarnabhumi for 30 days rather than 60 days, implying that those who enter on the 30 day visa exempt stamp must go to IT Square for their 60 day extensions irrespective of whether it's to visit Thai family or for tourism. Given the mood he was in at the time we took heed of his instruction and off we went to IT Square.

An hour or so later, all was sorted at IT Square where things seemed to be adequately organised and the staff generally helpful.

Hey guys. I need to extend my 30 days visa exempt stamp (Australian passport) and when looking to book an online an appoint I see Muang Thong Thani (Counter K) is no longer an option. Is there a new office to get the extension? Is it at IT Square Shopping Center, 3rd floor? I'm using this link. [members only]

Thanks in advance guys. Really wanting to make sure I go to the right place!

If extending a 30 day visa exempt stamp, does the 30 day extension start from date of application or date of the original stamp? TIA

Hoping to head to Trat immigration tomorrow for first visa extension of 30 day visa exempt stamp. Can anyone confirm what documentation needs to be taken eg photos inside/outside our rented house?? Printed map?? Also, do all print outs/ copies need to be done in duplicate? Or will one copy of each suffice? Finally, has anyone been to Trat and can comment on how busy etc their experience was? Cheers!

I'm currently on a family visa and have been for 3 years. Due to errors and miscalculation, I will not be able to extend this time as I will be out of the country working when is due for renewal. Will I be able to return on a 30 day visa exempt stamp? If yes, how many entries before I get pulled, if no, where is the best / easiest place to get a Non O multiple entry visa? I have been pulled by immigration once 4 years ago and told to get a visa, which I did but will this be recorded somewhere and cause a problem?

Hi guys,

Does anyone of you recently got a 30 day extension (for 30 day visa exempt stamp) at Chaengwattana office and transferred stamp into New passport?

Which documents have been required?

How was the waiting time?

Read some reports that for example Pattaya Immigration required TM30 forms at some point for a 30 day extension.

Just want to be sure what the current situation is as it changes the whole time.

Thanks

Hello, I did a quick search of the group and couldn't find my particular situation addressed previously but forgive if I am being redundant:

I first arrived here in Bangkok on a 6-month METV from USA. This expired in March so I applied for a 60-day SETV in Penang. This visa has validity until May 25. I am planning a week-long trip to Seoul mid-May and I plan on returning to Bangkok for 30 more days before flying home to the States. My question is simple: Taking into account my current and past visa stamps will I encounter any trouble obtaining a 30-day visa exempt stamp for my last month in Thailand? TIA
