You should have no issues as this is a typical type tourist entry.

However there are no guarantees as it’s up to the individual immigration officer.

Have proof of accommodation, proof of a flight out and 20k baht or equivalent in cash and you should be fine if asked for anything.

You’d have to check on their website as to what nationalities are allowed to apply. Many have very strict policies for Iranian passport holders.

Depends on the immigration office and by all accounts there are differing reports from Laksi. You may need a printed copy you may not.

Your host probably did file a TM30 but if they did it on your arrival then they won’t be able to retrieve it as the system only allows a search from 7 days ago.

It will take them probably less than 3 minutes to file another one using today’s date and then they can retrieve that and get the pdf print from it.

Immigration won’t care that the TM30 is from today just that you have a filed one.

Im using the term today but that can be tomorrow or the day you actually apply for the extension. It doesn’t matter.

If an immigration officer were to question why it’s a recent date rather than when you arrived you can say I stayed at a friends house last night so my host filed a new one for me today.

Yes. Many places that come up on random google search results. Some are even embassy/consulate website that still have old info on them.

Older non updated websites that will still show 30 day visa exempt. Some still show “only 15 days if entering via a land border”. That stopped in 2016.

If you haven’t bought a visa prior to coming to Thailand then you would get stamped in for 60 days on what’s called a visa exempt entry.

You can extend that once for 30 days at a local immigration office. There are over 80 around the country so you use the one that serves the area your TM30 (notice of staying that is filed by the hotel or house owner) is filed.

Delayed for now. No official notice of when or if it may start.

Yes. Dependent DTVs can be applied for at any embassy/consulate (in person or evisa) once you have yours.

Since July 15th entering visa exempt was changed from 30 days on entry to 60 days on entry.

You are allowed one extension of 30 days from a local immigration office before you’d have to leave Thailand.

Depends on the office you use, but generally you’ll need to fill out the TM7 form (for extensions), a copy of your passport, a copy of your entry stamp, a copy of your visa, a passport sized photo a filed TM30 and 1,900 baht.

You won’t need to show an onward travel ticket and there’s an almost zero chance of being denied.
