Ok, the OP’s was asking if he needed the hotel to sign an application for a 30 day extension on his visa exempt. I’ve posted the document that was sourced from Samui immigration last week, no mention of it being signed by the hotel. I myself have never had to do that on Samui, nor has anyone I know. Samuel Fila also lives on Koh Samui and is familiar with this process. So again, unless it’s been changed in the last week or so I guess the answer is no, you do need it signed. However if Anders wishes to play it super safe I could send him the pdf version of it if he wishes to get it signed in advance.

I agree that everything should be done by the letter, just never heard of it been asked for in Koh Samui. It’s not a requisite on the form I posted either.

@Bim ******

in Koh Samui?

That’s the current document from Koh Samui immigration in Maenam. Unless there’s been changes in the last week or so they do not ask for a signature from the hotel.

Thank you for taking the time to put a good friends mind at ease. 🙏

Incidentally, and staying on topic, the schools lawyer presented everything I had (I let her ‘carry on’ when she said that she could do it) to immigration (all docs, seasoned funds etc). She’s returned from immigration saying that if The school meets the minimum monthly wage combined with the funds, that she/they can do it.. asked them for a slight raise and asked them to get on with it. One can hope.

Steve Greir It would be nice if I could go from one to the other, would be easier/cheaper/quicker for me 🙂
