Do you know if a Laos citizen who entered on a 30 day stamp can do a 30 day visa extension at Changwattana immigration the same as other countries? Thank you !

I'm wondering if anyone has any recent experience at ChangWattana Immigration with getting their Non O extension based on retirement. I changed an entry stamp to an initial Non O recently, and when I did that, the official showed me a chart saying I could apply 45 days prior to the expiration of the Non O to extend. Yesterday, I went back to get the actual stamp and asked to clarify this and was given several different answers. Two officials said 45 days, two others said 30 days, and another told me to work it out myself!! I obviously could wait until just 30 days out to be sure, but in this case, would cut it rather close to a planned departure, so 45 days is far more optimal, especially if they make you come back for the stamp. Any recent reports would be of great help. And thanks again to the moderators for all the incredibly helpful insights and advice on this board.

I have this dependency visa as the father of a Thai child. Went to Chonburi immigration and they said it can’t be extended.

I’m going to go changwattana tomorrow.

Previously I’ve been able to extend for 60 days.

Any ideas?

Has anyone extended Non O-A visa at Changwattana in the last few weeks? what is their requirement of the insurance? Is it 3Millions or still the same as last year 40K/400K. If 3 millions can overseas insurance be used as we have Cigna Global (not Cigna Thailand) policy covered of USD1million. We have tried to find information all over the web but no success. Even the insurance companies on [members only] cant give us a firm answer and suggest us to check with the immigration office. We are super stress so any helps is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Hello everyone.

I just got back from the immigration office in Bangkok. I entered with a visa exempt, and thought I could get a 60 day Covid extension.

The lady at immigration only gave me a 30 day extension. Is this normal? I was under the impression I could get 60 more days.

Thank you in advance!

In hopes of contributing to this super helpful group, my visa department has advised us that Changwattana and Muangthong Thani Immigration will be open this Saturday from 8. 30-16.40.

Hi. I have an 'under consideration' stamp from Muang Thong Thani (visa exempt entry). I was advised to come back today (April 30).

I went April 30 and Immigration at Changwattana advised there no need to get the full permission stamp. Anyone hearing a conflicting report? Please be specific wrt date and which Immigration Office, pls.

Thanks

My experience at Changwattana Immigration today for the purpose of extending a 30-day visa exemption.

Turned up later than intended at 9:15am. Roughly 200 people were in front of me. I accidentally jumped the queue by about 100 people by not understanding that the long queue was for a ticket number and not the information desk. Nobody corrected me or told me to jog on, so I chanced my luck and it was fine. Got ticket number 140 and had to wait just over an hour to be seen. I was told the TM.7 form I downloaded from this group was out of date. The correct one was given to me from directly outside the booth (K), which looked nearly identical but slightly different. Because of needing to complete the in-date form, I missed my ticket calling, but they sat me down inside the booth to be seen as soon as I had completed the form, so no worries there. Gave the following documents; actual passport; passport copy; 1 x photo, copy of entry stamp; 1900 baht. I wasn't asked for TM30 receipt or proof of onward travel (I had both on me). After giving over my documents, I was told to sit outside the booth until they called my name. This last bit of the process took roughly 30 minutes. All in all, I was in and out in about 130 minutes. Note, there is plenty of parking for motorcycles directly outside the main entrance.

Hi. My mother entered Thailand without visa on Hungarian passport. I am taking her tomorrow to Changwattana immigration in Bangkok to extend her stay for one moth more for 1900 baht. My question is if my mother must be present or she can stay at home and my wife can take her passport to accomplish this without her. Thank you for your help.

Hi 🙂 Asking for my Japanese friend and her little son.

She needs to go to Immigration at Changwattana to extend the tourist visa on the next Friday.

Can anyone advise what time should be best to arrive there?

If she arrives at 9 or 10 am, is it too late or the line will be long?

I have also heard that Bumrungrad Business Center can handle this with additional fee, will it work for this case?

Thanks in advance!

P.S. Sorry if this question has already been asked.
