Hi guys just a quick question, I've been told you need to wait to apply for the 30 day extension until last 7 days of your 60 day tourist visa at Jomtien immigration ? Can you advise please, thanks again

I need to extend my marriage visa. Does anyone know if the Central Festival location in Chiang Mai can process this, or is it better to go to the Airport branch? Thanks 🙏

Hello. I’m planning to extend for 1 more month in Thailand. When do I have to go to Chiang Mai immigration to extend? Just wondering because I saw a post somewhere that they don’t let you extend unless you only have 10 days left for your stay. Thank you.

How far in advance of my 90 day reporting (first one) can I attend immigration to complete? What should I take with me? (Chaing Mai)

For all people entering with a DTV: double check the IO stamps the correct dates!

I just realized my DTV was stamped in for only 5 months instead of 180 days 🤦‍♂️

I entered via land border and i’m now very far away from there. TBH i’m not even planning to stay the full 5 months.

Should i even try to get it fixed at the nearest immigration office?

In fact, my calculation says it’s only 149 days. This already includes the start and end dates.

Start date: October 7, 2024

End date: March 4, 2025

UPDATE JAN 2025: Got my visa stamp fixed at my local Chiang Mai immigration office while doing 90 day report.

Hi members, can you go to any immigration office for a Re-entry permit and do you need an appointment?

Hi. I'm an American woman in Chiang Mai, needing to convert my Non-Immigrant O for purpose of retirement to actual Retirement visa in October. I just had a few questions for this group?

*I know I need 800K in bank for two months (It'll be 2 months this week). --- Can I print out a bank statement from my app or do I need to go to the bank for proof?

*What do I need to bring with besides these items? 4 passport photos, Blue Pen, TM 30, Lease Agreement?

*Should I fill out an application before going? If so, does anyone haves a link to the proper application?

*Am I missing something? Missing any details on this process?

*My current visa expires on Oct 16th, Is going around 7th or 8th safe?

Thanks in advance!

Made it this far with the help of this group!

Hi, which immigration office do I attend in Chaing Mai to extend my 60 day visa? Does it matter I arrived in Bangkok? Can I just turn up and extend it? Thanks in advance. 🙂

Hello everyone,

I'm sorry for this question which must have been asked hundreds of times. I searched through previous posts but couldn't find anything recent.

I entered with a 30 days visa exemption on April 2 (French passport) and would like to do a 30 days extension. I am based in Chiang Mai.

1. I would like to know which of the two offices can I go to carry out this procedure?

1. What documents do I need to bring? I have seen a lot of contradictory information...

Also, the owner of my Airbnb accommodation told me that I don't need the TM30 and that I simply need to provide my temporary residence address during the application. Is it correct?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi there,

AUS passport, registered TM30 in CM, with Non-OX (5 year retirement) visa, due to expire in August.

Whilst I could extend the Non-OX, I decided to change to a Non-O visa (reasons below).

I was told the Non-OX visa can’t be changed directly into a Non-O visa. The process would be;

1. On my next return to Thailand in July, request the IO to ignore the then still valid visa and enter on a 30 day visa exempt stamp.

2. Get 30 day extension

3. Apply for Non-O visa (90 day visa)

4. Get annual extension (+ multiple entry re-entry permit)

Questions:

Will the IO ignore a valid visa on my request?

Could I skip step 2. As money is already in the bank for some time.

Thanks for your expertise and insight.

Reason to change away from OX:

If the Non-OX would mean 5 years without dealing with immigration (besides 90days/TM30), it would be great.

BUT, I still need to visit immigration every year for the document inspection and provide bank and insurance verification documents

SO; either way annual immigration visit, but with a Non-O there is no insurance requirement and a lot less money to keep in the bank (and with the freed up money better invested, it pays easy for the visa/extension and re-entry permits).
