A quick note on my experience this week in extending my non-O visa for retirement at Samut Prakan immigration to warn others who may not be aware of a new regulation. On my initial visit with all the documents I have used without problems in the past, I was informed that I needed to show an up-to-date rental agreement in addition to the TM30. This, I was told, was a new and recently introduced regulation. Duly went back with an updated rental agreement and my visa was extended. I don’t know whether this rule is only for extension of visas for retirement or whether it is needed for all visa extensions but any readers of this thread who use the Samut Prakan immigration office should be aware that they could be asked for their lease/rental agreement.

Good morning!

Looking for help please regarding my first time extension of SE Non Imm O retirement e-visa at Samut Prakan immigration.

Firstly, does anybody have the recent list of required documents please?

Secondly, how soon may I apply for a first extension?

My Non Imm O retirement e-visa was issued on 31st August. It expires on 28th November 2023.

I entered Thailand on 2nd October, entry stamp valid until 30th December 2023.

My 800k baht international funds transfer has been in my Thai bank account for more than 2 months already.

Thank you for any help. 🙏😄

Hi Guys Has any one had any problems using the Samut Prakan Immigration office for an extension for my 30 day entry. As its just down the road from where Im staying saves going into Chaeng Wattanna.

Thanks in Advance

I've recently moves to a new hotel that, according to google maps is 80 meters inside the Samat Prakan province border, should I go to CW or Samaut Prakan immigration to extend my +45 Visa exemption? cheers

Do we still have to report to immigration everytime we come back to the country for the TM30? (Not 90 day report)

A friend of ours is here in Thailand on holiday. He is from the US. When he arrived he got a stamp in his passport for just 30 days. He went to Chaeng Wattana and tried to extend his stay for a bit longer by filling in the TM7 form. When he was finally called up to get the forms processed they noticed that the address he had given on the form of where he is staying was in Samut Prakan so they sent him to the correct office there.

When he got there, they took the TM7 form from him but then said he had to get a TM30 form filled out with the homeowner in Samutprakan giving their details as well as copy of house registration and a certified true copy of their passport.

The thing is, our friend is travelling around and not staying in just one place. When he stayed in Samutprakan it was only for a few nights. He is due to go to holiday in Samui in the next couple of days.

So - did the Samutprakan office make a mistake - does he really need a TM30 to be completed for a simple tourist extension?

I have looked on the www.immigration.go.th website and there is no mention of this for a tourist visa extension - just a fee to be paid along with the TM7.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I applied for a 60 day covid extension at Samut Prakan immigration but was only given a 30 day extension that ends on December 8th. Is it possible to get a 60 day covid extension on the 26th of November?

Hello,

I am Brazilian and I am in Thailand for the first time and would like to know how to renew my visa in an economical way. I have some questions mentioned below:

Using Visa-Run

1) Which neighboring country are open without the need for quarantine in ASQ hotel?

2) How many days do I have to stay in the neighboring country before I can return to Thailand and receive a new stamp?

3) I am fully vaccinated against covid-19, do I need to quarantine in ASQ hotel again when I return?

Covid-Extension

4) Do I need to hire a specialized office to have the 2 month extension or can I do it myself? How to proceed? I live in Samut Prakan.
