the first time I did an extension in the jomtien immigration, it took 4+ hours, because of all the messing around, and plus I didn't know they close for an hour for dinner time 12:00 till 13:00 😅

you are missing the point!! they don't have a TM30, I'm aware it's not difficult to get the documents together "if you have got everything" I have done it myself a few times, at the jomtien office, every time I've been there, they just send you from one desk to another, and it's packed out with people, telling you to sit down and wait, it's always takes hours and hours!! it's more frustrating and very time consuming than anything else, in this particular post the person cannot get a TM30 from there landlord, jomtien immigration I'm told now issue fines for late filing, in this instance I suggested using an agent at cost of ฿4000 all done, because if they try and do it themselves, they will likely get a fine of ฿1600 + ฿1900 immigration fee for the extension, they even mentioned staying one night in a hotel to get a TM30 that is further expense.

easy to do it yourself?? How many 30 day extensions have you done?? And most importantly, at which immigration offices?? Some offices in the tourist destinations make it a very difficult and a frustratingly long process, even tho you have all your documents in order, in this instance, I suggested using an agent because jomtien is one of them offices, that will have you there for hours and hours doing it yourself, and also there will possibly be a fine to pay at jomtien, if the filing of a TM30 is late.

if you go to jomtien immigration, to do a 30 day tourist extension, and you don't have a current TM30 in the system, some people have reported getting a fine, ฿1600 fine + ฿1900 immigration extension fee, and hours and hours waiting, that's why I've suggested just pay an agent ฿4000 everything included to do it for you.

I've seen people post on here, that have got difficult landlords that won't do a TM30, they have said they do it themselves, but you do need your landlord's cooperation by supplying the relevance documents.

I've seen people post that you can do the TM30 yourself online, but I think you need documents from your landlord such as Thai ID, and chanote or house book, I'll send you the link from another post (just check it looks legit, I've never used it myself, it's just what someone else posted)

Visa agents in Pattaya, will get you a 30 day tourism extension, they will do everything for you, save yourself a headache, just give them ฿4000 and your passport, everything included.

I'm from the UK, your standard car license has motorcycle entitlement to ride Upto a 50cc motorcycle in the UK, or you can do a CBT course, which then allows you to ride Upto a 125cc in the UK, after that it is a full motorcycle test, when you get an IDP from the post office, it will just be stamped with what ever licenses you can present to them, I only have the very basic motorcycle entitlement, but it was easy to converted them into full thai car and motorcycle licenses.

you only need to have motorcycle entitlement, on your home country licence together with an IDP, to obtain full Thai car and motorcycle licenses, you don't need a full motorcycle license from your home country.
