Hi all,

I’m wondering if anyone can tell me what the difference is between the Phuket visa extension offices.

We’re staying in Patong, came in on a 30 visa on arrival with a US passport (into BKK initially).

Does anyone recommend Beach office, Blue Tree, or Old Town Phuket over one other?

Thanks for your assistance!

Hello everyone,

I'm sorry for this question which must have been asked hundreds of times. I searched through previous posts but couldn't find anything recent.

I entered with a 30 days visa exemption on April 2 (French passport) and would like to do a 30 days extension. I am based in Chiang Mai.

1. I would like to know which of the two offices can I go to carry out this procedure?

1. What documents do I need to bring? I have seen a lot of contradictory information...

Also, the owner of my Airbnb accommodation told me that I don't need the TM30 and that I simply need to provide my temporary residence address during the application. Is it correct?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi all, i’m currently on the 30 day tourist visa exempt and i’m looking to extend it for another 30 days at either the Chiang Rai or Phayao immigration office. Would appreciate help with 3 questions:

1. Will the extension start from the day i apply or from the day my original 30 days end?

2. What documents beside my passport and passport size photos are necessary?

3. Is the tm30 form needed? And if so how do i get it? I’m staying with a local thai friend in their apartment.

Thanks in advance!

Hi 👋

I need to find out what documents are required to do extention in Thailand. Also at what immigration office to apply at , we are situated in Mahasarakham.

I have a non immigrant O visa to follow my half Thai children I am also married to their Thai Father . But he will not be coming to Thailand yet only next year he will join us.

Please can you help with the list of documents needed.

We are flying from SA 19th April 2023

Hello, has anyone extend a non-B visa before?

If yes, what document did you provide?

Thank you

American here with a Non O-A visa, spouse with a Non O visa. Now that we have arrived, we are looking at next steps for complying with visa extensions and the required documents and we realized that we were unaware that we needed to get our marriage certificate legalized.

The embassy processed the visa application based on a photo of the marriage certificate so I guess we thought it had passed muster.

Any additional insight on this issue would be welcome, and please also mention whether or not this (the legalized marriage certificate) is the only document needed for the trailing spouse to apply for the visa extension to match the validity of the Non O-A.

Hi, anyone know what’s the requirement or documents needed for non-imm o Thai spouse visa extension? Thank you in advance 😊

I'm going to Immigration 1 on Monday to extend my STV.

I know I need:

TM.7

A copy of my visa, passport, and entry slip

A passport size photo

1900 Baht

Has anyone extended theirs recently and know if I am missing anything?

Hi all 👋 Sorry for the weird questions. I have never requested visa extensions so it's all new to me... I've flown into Thailand earlier this month on an STV from the UK. I'm starting to look into an extension as ideally I'd like to stay the full 270 days. My current STV expires on 8th April but I'd like to get things ready a bit earlier just in case 😅

I have a few questions:

1. What's the Bangkok office location for the STV extension? Chaeng Wattana? (IF I stayed in Bangkok until April, that is, then I guess I can apply to the closest immigration office wherever I am? I don't know where I will be as I have loose plans)

1. What documents do I need to bring apart from an extension application form (I guess I can find it at the office?), passport, TM6 (needed?)? Do I need to buy another 3 months of travel insurance? With the same provider as bought initially?

1. I guess I need a TM30? I'm currently staying in a condo and my landlady said she'll do the TM30 for me. I presume I'd need to get in touch with the hotel I stayed at before this condo (still here in Bangkok) and ask them for this form? And the same for the Test & Go hotel? Do you need a TM30 for each hotel you stay at?

1. Do I need a police check and a medical document? I wasn't asked for these when I applied for the STV in the UK by the way

1. I presume I'd have to book and pay for three months' of accommodation and an outbound flight. I'm planning to move around with no fixed programme. When I did the STV I didn't pay for hotels in advance...

Thank you for your help 😊

Does anyone know if I can extend my tourist visa on Ko Tao? If not, how about Ko Samui or Krabi? Thanks!!
