I have been living in the far north of Chiang Mai province for a few years now on extensions based on marriage to a Thai but now I am here on a visa exempt. I will apply for a new visa based on marriage to a Thai next month after I have the required funds in my bank account. In the meantime, I need an extension because my visa exempt will expire next week, before I have the funds in my account for the new visa application.

Will immigration balk if I apply for a 30 day, so-called "tourism" extension? If not, what should I put as the reason for staying on the TM.7 application? A quick look through my passport makes it obvious I am not here as a tourist.

I ask because my wife is 6-months pregnant and prefers not to make the trip to the city this time - she would need to be present if I was applying 60 day extension based on visiting Thai family.

I guess another option would be a border bounce via Chiang Khong/Huay Xai. Are they currently requiring an overnight stay (or longer?) in Laos?

I want to apply for 30 day extension to my visa exemption （60 days）.

I'll visit Jomtien immigration office. Apart from my passport and 1900 baht what else is needed？

Can I go a week or two after arrival in Thailand to be sure about extension for planning flight out at later date？

We arrived in Thailand on January 28 and were stamped in until February 26 on a 30 day visa exemption. I have booked an appointment on February 13 in Chanburi for a tourist visa extension. I received an email confirming I should bring the following information:

Documents to be submitted

Application form TM.7 (Application must be made in person)

Copy of applicant's passport

Photo 4x6 cm (not older than 6 months)

Application fee 1,900 THB

After reading numerous posts on this site it appears they may ask for additional information. Will I need to provide proof of onward travel or booked accommodations? Is there any way to get a 30 day extension electronically?

Appreciate any assistance you can provide. Thanks

Extension of stay non-OA (marriage). Hi all, my extension is up on the 31st of this month and I want to get my new extension sooner rather than later. Besides the TM.7 application, copies of everything in the passport, the bank letter confirming 40K/month, and copies of all bank statements, copy of my rental contract, what else do I need to prepare?

Also, this will be the 2nd year of this type of visa. Do I have to go through the extensive interview process again and do I have to deal with the dreaded home visit by 6 police again???

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello! My husband and I are here on Visa Exemption (tourism) scheme and are wanting to do the 30 day extension.

Do we need to print out all the documents before we go or can we get our photos taken/print everything out when we arrive at the Central Investigation Bureau?

As far as I can tell, we need to have:

-Application form TM.7

-Copy of each passport

-4x6 cm photo

-1,900 Baht per person

If you have any tips for us on how to best do this process, we would really appreciate any advice. Thank you for letting us know whether we can print everything there and also whether we can get our photos taken there.

Also, can anyone confirm that this is the correct address for people nearby in Bangkok:

Central Investigation Bureau

904 Moo 6, Chaengwattana Road

Ban Mai, Pak Kret

Nonthaburi 11120

Thailand

Hello there,

I am about to request the Covid 60 Days visa extension.

I have the following documentation on hand, I need a bit of a refresher, is it correct?

1. TM.7 Application for extension of temporary stay…

2. STM.2 Acknowledgement of term and conditions..

3. Acknowledgement of penalties for visa overstay

4. Statement page 3 (guarantor?)

5. Affidavit for granting permission to temp stay... Covid-19

6. Passport

7. 1900 baht cash

Is that all what I need?

Thank you in advance

Hello everyone,

So, I entered Bangkok, Thailand, in mid July under the “visa exemption scheme”, which granted me to stay in the Kingdom for 45 days. I wanted to extend my stay to another 60 days, would that be feasible? And how far in advance that applicant should submit the visa application (TM.7) — I'm sorry for asking this extension-related question again. But I really need your guidance on this matter. Thank you 🙏🏼
