Im currently in Nakhon Ratchasima after arriving by air into Suvarnabhumi BKK. I’m on a french passport with a 30day visa exemption stamp.

I’m staying at my wife/‘my’ house.

A friend as said I should be registered with the Local immigration office ? As a foreigner staying in a Thai house.

Can’t find any info on this as most is relating to resident visas.

Can anyone clear this up for me ?

Can anyone tell me what this says please?

Hi, I would like to do a 30 day visa extension after arriving on a 60 day tourist visa bought outside of Thailand. I stayed in Bangkok when I first arrived, then moved to Korat, and will return to Bangkok later. Which immigration office should I do the extension at - Bangkok/Nakhon Ratchasima? And can I do it now rather than wait until a few days before (expires 9 April)?

Thanks!

Hi I'm here visa free from usa. Already did 60 day extention so total of 90 days here. Can I get another extention or no? In Korat now. Thanks

Reported on December 2 to pick up my extension of stay based on Thai spouse. The approval had not arrived by then and we are still waiting. We were told immigration was very busy and they would get in touch with us when it arrived. We are still waiting. Any one else in this situation? We go to the Nakhon Ratchasima office. I believe the gentleman was a volunteer. My passport is from the US.

Just a report:

Got my 3rd year extension for retirement at Nakhon Ratchasima/Korat imm. office. However this year a bit more syrupy, I was in and out in one and a half hour. Immediately at the entrance of the main building I bounced to some tables and a queue of people wating to let a young volunteer lady check the documents. Before it where at least 3 or 4 people to do that. The lady only told me to sign all documents and put my phonenumber on the TM7.

Then she gave me 3 forms ? A bit strange for me, but now I understood why all those people where writing at those tables. Also there was a pot of glue to stick your pass photo on the TM7 yourself. One form was the handout list you had to sign ? One form was a kind of declaration of income (Although I had the Dutch affidavit?) where I had to put all kind of data such as address while this is already on the TM7. And one form was that I got fined or prosecuted if I overstayed. Also all kind of data to fill in with address again. Then let the volunteer lady check again, so back in the queue.

I just copied the whole blue housebook of my girlfriend as I had done other years but now I had to copy only the relevant pages in a certain sequence. But this time it was okay. Pfff a bit nitpick...

Also all diciplines, except 90 day notification, where now in the main building. Re-entry permit, shortstay visa, longstay visa/extension, Certificate of Residence, TM 30 etc. Before some diciplines where separate.

Pity, also there more and more bureaucracy.

Oh, TM30 I just did not ask anything and they told me nothing. Still had my TM30 receipt in my passport from the first time 2 years ago. This although I went to BKK and Cha Am several times. Well, up to next year extension.

Just for info. Just went immigration in Nakhon Ratchasima to collect my 11 month extension on my marriage visa after they gave me 1 month when applied.

Everyone told me to not touch the 400 in the bank until the 11 month was approved which was new as I always started spending it.

Wasn’t asked to prove the 400 was still there. Just gave me the extension.

Maybe just Nakhon Ratchasima

All good.

Went for my 6 year marriage visa in Nakhon Ratchasima. All went good.

90 mins

They did interview the wife.

Ask questions why I travel a lot between phuket and korat but very pleasant.

Completely different to other IO offices I have used.

Won’t stress so much next year when it gets near again

Hi Todd Robert, not entirely Visa related but need some advice. No prob if you delete or close comments after answer.

Have a bit of a conundrum re TM30 (I will get fined) first TM 30 at Ayutthaya (wife’s rented home landlord) then in Bangkok and Kho Samui hotels of course would have lodged.

Now been in Khok Phra Village for over week forgot to lodge and wish to do it because they know in the system I’m somewhere.

Unsure where ? Does anyone know if there is an Immigration office in Chakarat ? Nhakon Ratchasima our of the question because lack of transport.

I will if I have to do it at the police station in Chakarat if there is no Immigration Office there.

Thanks in advance for any help.

A friend arrives on a SETV and immediately goes to his rented home in Nakhon Ratchisima. Should he inform Immigration asap that he has arrived. Can I confirm that he will need a pre paid outbound flight (within 60 days) and proof of funds on arrival. How much would that amount be? Thank you.
