Bring one photo, passport copies (main page, page with stamp, departure card) and fill the form TM7

You arrived with a 30 day "visa exempt" stamp that, yes, can be extended by 30 more days at any local Immigration Office at the cost of 1,900 baht

@Tod ********

sure I will

The true is that nobody can say nothing sure now. During the weekend they move their office, monday keep closed to check all machines and informatic system is working. If all is ok, they promptly communicate to re-open on tuesday, at the latest on wednesday, I think.

99% thursday is open.

I will re-confirm next monday as soon i have news

@Japhy ********

visarun from Samui to Penang will be regularly operating since tuesday 3rd, unless different advice that Consulate will communicate next monday

@Tod ********

it is actually the same place but just different buildings

The most trustable info is that they should finish moving all furniture and machines on Monday 2nd evening. Only then they can check if informatic system is ok, then could open on 3rd or at the latest on 4th.

In case of persisting problems with informatic system, office closing time could be longer...

Tod, the estimate closing period 4-5 days comes from official source (Consulate itself)?

Because different agents in Penang are talking about different closing time: someone says 1-2 days, someone says 3 days.

You will arrive to Thailand with a 30 day visa exempt stamp. Once in Koh Samui you can extend it by 30 more days just going to Immigration Office.

Till 60 days you don't need any border run nor visarun, so no need to pay any agency service. I attach a photo with what you need to buy an extension at Samui Immigration (open Monday-Friday 8.30-12.00 / 13.00-16.30).

Do it at the copy shop downstairs the office, right side
