What documents do I need to extend my visa exemption in Patong and can I get a passport photo there?

Karim ***************

@Stuart ********

just had a thought…

Was it still covid extensions, they were doing, in April last year? Perhaps they weren’t doing those at Patong. What I can say as a definite, they were definitely only doing 7 day extensions at the time.

@Stuart ********

I had a qualifying passport. They were definitely only doing 7 day extensions at the time. I had got them there previously, so I was surprised when they said they couldn’t do them. It was just before Songkran, memory just clicked.

@Stuart ********

no tm30 required for a 30 day extension??? And you’re sure Patong are doing them again, because they didn’t for me. It was last year, same sort of time I last attempted. I know you know your stuff… But are you sure sure or has someone hacked your Fb account? 😅

the only requirements regarding the tm30 is, it has to be in the same province as the immigration you go to. So you couldn’t use a tm30 for a hotel in Chiang mai, if you’re going to the Phuket immigration office. I made that mistake too and had to go twice 🤣 Enjoy Phuket, it’s a ball 👍
