We are coming to an end of our 60 day tourist exemption and want to apply for the 30 day extension. We are in Bangkok and am seeing different immigration offices listed. Can someone please confirm which office we need to go to? And also any extra suggestions you may have. We know we need copies of our passport and visa stamp, 1900thb each and a recent passport photo. Also can we apply 10 days prior to the end of our exemption? Thanks for your help! Much appreciated!

I am in Thailand on a 60 day visa exemption, but I'd like to extend it to 90 days.

I'd rather do things early than late, so I was planning to go within the week. However, ChatGPT (which is not always reliable) says to wait a bit as Bangkok immigration is very strict.

Is this true? Should I wait till January to extend, or just do it now? I thought it would be best to ask real people.

Also, it has to be done in person, right? I haven't found an online option.

Is Changwattana the only immigration officer in Bangkok? I’m looking to extend a 60 day visa free entry by another 30 days, are there any other offices I can go to?

I will be applying for the Non O retirement visa from Ireland. I know that gives me 90 days when I get to Thailand to apply for 1 year extension.

Is there a timescale on the non O.

I am planning on retiring next April.

This morning I went to apply for a re entry permit to travel in October, however I was refused because I didn't have a TM 30, ( Phuket immigration) I don't recall having needed one before when applying for a re entry permit, interesting because apparently you can apply for a re entry permit at the Airport with only your passport, passport photo and copy of passport pages, anyone had experience with this situation and can update me on this predicament please. 🙏😊

Please put my mind at ease. US passport holder, planning to fly to Thailand tomorrow, staying a couple weeks. Can I still do visa on arrival or do I need to do an application?

Probably a simple, dumb question . . .

I am arriving next month on a 60 day visa exempt status. Our house is in my sister-in-law’s name. Is she required to report my arrival/stay at the local immigration office?

Thanks.

I have two questions… (1) I just received my Evisa from the Los Angeles consulate. Last year when I received my non O married to a Thai it said length of stay was 99 days. This year there is no length of stay on the Evisa.

(2) last year we never reported that I was staying at her house, is this really a requirement, and if so…how can she do it?

Thanks.
