Hi , I arrived in Thai with visa exemption 60 days. I like to extend to 30 days . Do I go to the IT sqaure Lak Si or Government Complex ? Do I also need the embassy letter apart from TM7 forms, copies and original of passport , visa pages and TM30?

Have to extend or do a border run soon, but would rather do an extension so my questions are to those who extended recently:

* Which office did you go to?

* What are all the documents needed?

The 1900 baht is a lot cheaper than the cost of doing a border run/flying in and out. I don't want to waste a day going to the immigration office and miss a piece of paperwork. I'm sure this is asked a lot but haven't found a concrete answer yet about extending, many people just suggesting a border run. Thank you.

If I have a retirement visa from one province and move to another, can i extend that visa in the 2nd province? What are the requirements?

I was just turned away from immigration for a certificate of residence because my o retirement visa will not be in place till April 15 .

I have a current lease for 6 months and all I need to do is purchase a car and get a license...

Hello, I would like to know if I can do my 30 days extension at the immigration at Samut Prakan. I’ve came with a 60 days entry stamp. From France. Thanks 🙏

Hi,

I applied work visa in thai embassy, mumbai.

My all documents are clear except proof of stay TM30 form.

I provided mail confirmation from the hotel as my stay proof but it was not accepted by the consulate.

I m planning to travel on 12th feb 2025.

What I understand from the hotel, form TM30 can be filled only once I checked in hotel after arrival.

So how can I provide TM30 form to get my visa approved?

Is there any other way to provide TM30 form to consulate to get my vis approved?

Your expert opinion is highly appreciated.

Hello.. i have a query if anyone can help!

(UPDATE: All went well and thanks for the help!! 😀) Good day all! I am applying for an extension tomorrow and am wondering what forms I need to take with me? I have my TM7, a copy of my passport, my TM30 and my money to pay. Am I missing anything and can I go to any immigration office or just the one closest to where I stay? Thanks in advance. 🙂

I recently applied for DTV under Muay Thai soft power and I applied under a gym in Bangkok for one month training. I’ve since moved to the Surat Thani area and am now training at a different gym with no relation to the one I originally applied under. Is there anything further I need to do and for my 90 day reporting will I need to go back up to Bangkok or can I do it from here in Surat Thani and it won’t affect anything in terms of my visa?

I have successfully extended my DTV stay for another six months at the Samut Prakan Immigration Office today. The staff there were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the process. Since I couldn’t find clear documentation requirements online, I sought advice directly from the receptionists (who, I must say, were very beautiful, kind and welcoming). Interestingly, they mentioned I was the first person to visit their office specifically for a DTV stay extension.

As a remote worker, my work contract was an *essential* document for the application. Additionally, I needed to submit financial proof, including:

* An updated bank book (passbook) on the same day of the visa extension

* A balance certification signed by the bank

* A bank statement showing the same balance as the certification

Accommodation documents were also required, such as:

* A copy of my rental agreement

* A TM30 form

Initially, I had prepared a bank statement generated two days prior to my visit. However, this didn’t meet the requirements because the passbook needed to be updated on the same day as the visa extension. One thing to note is that although I had updated my passbook the night before my visit, the officer required it to be updated again on the day of the extension, even if no new transactions had occurred. The receptionist kindly explained this detail during my initial inquiry, but I decided to give it a try with what I had. As a result, I had to make an extra trip to the bank’s ATM to update my passbook. Thankfully, everything else was in order. This requirement could be different if you are using a foreign bank as financial proof. In such cases, they might adjust the requirements slightly, or you may have no choice but to fly out and come back or do a border bounce.

I’m sharing this experience and the document requirements for anyone considering a DTV stay extension. Being well-prepared can save time and effort, and the staff at the immigration office are there to help. Overall, it was a smooth process once all the documentation was in place.
