I had a 60 day tourist visa and I extended it last week. In and out the local immigration office within 30 minutes. Cost 1900 baht. If you need more after the extension then you need a border run.

No

@Nongnuch *******

yes this is a must have requirement. I am blessed to be staying in a hotel where they do everything by the book and don't get grumpy when I ask for it.

@Mark ********

it's a pretty good feeling going back to the room at 9.05 am on a songthaew done and dusted. 20 baht there, 20 baht back. I'm an early riser anyway.

@Baz ********

yes people this is true.

I got to do a visa extension this week. I will go to my local immigration office in person and do it. Cost 1900 baht.

@Terry *******

hence the need for a sign like this.

Same boat as you. If the 60 day free exemption continues I'll do that, if not I will apply for a non immigrant o visa pensioner. That will get me 90 days. Then I will have 2 options, go down the route of a 12 month extension with the appropriate funds or go to neighbouring country for a holiday and return for 30 visa exempt then extend that for a further 30 days. 5 months will do me. I like the first option better if it lasts.

@Peter ********

thanks for the heads up because that's where I will be applying from

No one likes these disgusting squat toilet, not even Thai people. But it's better than nothing.
