UPDATE. Petchabun Immigration. Non O visa (over 50) application yesterday. Irish passport. With my Thai partner.

First we had to update my TM 30 in person as I have just got back here. Entered on visa exempt and got 60 days.

Then we were told to go to the bank and get a letter and statements showing 800000 for the last 2 months. Luckily I have a bank acc and had put the money in the account before my arrival here. The IO wrote down what we needed in Thai to help us before we went to the bank.

Back to the IO and they did all the paperwork. Pages and pages of my bank book transactions and all kinds of other stuff. I just had to sign my name about 50 times on both sets. 2 recent photos. My partner had to hand draw a map of where the house is as they said they would come and visit in the next 2 weeks and provide all kinds of docs about herself.

Now it is 'under consideration' for 3 weeks and we have to go back on 28th to get the Visa confirmed and stamped in my passport.

2 points to note:

First that I needed the money in my bank 2 months before I even applied for the Visa, not the extension.

Second that they will come and visit for a retirement Visa not a marriage visa.

Not many people use Petchabun IO but thought the update might help some of you.

Hi all. It’s my first 90 day report. What do I need to take with me? Passport obviously. Anything else? Udon Thani if it makes a difference??

Hi all,

Extension of stay to ( Non O

90 day Visa)

is it a form TM 7, that I need to complete?

Thanks . .

Update on my tourist visa extension. It appears my post yesterday was closed by the moderator. Rather than wait until closer to our exit date we decided to go to Immigration in Bluport Mall, Hua Hin yesterday. Asked the hotel where we are staying for a TM 30 based on advice I received on this site. The hotel seemed confused about my request but eventually gave me a print confirming my booking. Arrived at the office around 1:30 and took a number. While waiting for our turn we had our photos taken at a kiosk close by. We waited about 1.5 hours and were called in. The official asked for our room key and was not interested in our printout from the hotel. Ten minutes later we got our 30 day extension even though we just arrived three days ago. Very nice place to get the job done. 🙂

Anybody knows

if Section 38 App is working? I'm having problems and I need to fill in a TM 30 form.

Please let me know

Thanks🙏

JUST A HEADS UP OF MY EXPERIENCE

Currently on Koh Phangan. Need to extend my visa. The immigration office here is not a pleasant place to be. It is very busy and super strict. Yesterday I arrived in the afternoon with all my documents, after queuing for an hour, the initial clerk checked them all, all fine, then because I had 5 days (2 of which are a weekend) left on my visa he would not let me proceed any further as he was letting people with a shorter time left go first. Come back tomorrow or next week. If I was in that position I would appreciate this. So OK off I go. Returned today, queued for just over an hour again to be told that my TM 30 was wrong. It was OK yesterday but not today !!!!! So back again tomorrow and then the next day to collect. They do not process on the same day. There are so many very unhappy people there, including the staff. If you have to go, allow plenty of time, assume you will be sent to the back of the queue at some point. Do not wear a vest top, they will rent you a shirt, they love you if you wear a face mask - do it for the points. Take water and snacks for in the queue. Wish me luck

I'm trying to navigate the process for a non O and have contacted some agents and several are from Pattaya and I'm in Bangkok, and then I received message from one who says the paperwork must be done in province where one resides.

I'm at a hotel that's been here since 1952 but they dont seem to know about tm 30. Tried to navigate the immigration page but can't get past captcha.

I've done my previous extension myself in Chiang Mai.

Greetings everyone!

I have a question regarding the TM 30 document.

I currently have an ME Non-O visa based on marriage, from the consulate in Savannakhet, which is valid until the end of September next year.

Since my first 90 day stay permit expires at the end of this month, I plan to extend my stay based on visiting a Thai family to get an additional 60 days (I understand that I can do this once during the visa period).

I have a problem with TM 30 because of the landlord. She says she registered me properly when I got back to Bangkok, but now she can't access the site and send me my details to print because it's been more than 7 days.

At my insistence to register me again, she refuses on the pretext that it is illegal and that she is not allowed to do that. She says she called the immigration service on the phone and they confirmed it.

The apartment rental contract I have with her expires at the end of January, but it is in my wife's name.

What are my options and what can I do to successfully extend my stay by 60 days?

Thank you in advance!
