I wanted to give a thanks to everyone here in giving advice towards getting my Non-Immigrant O visa with out needing to get an agent. It was actually not so bad going through Bangkok Immigration the other day (the folks at Thai Immigration were all really nice and helpful!) and I don't think I could have done it myself with out the advice from many in this group. This is hands down the best visa (and everything!) group since the others I had been in the admins would delete just about every post and were so weird about moderating a lot of questions. Thanks all! Now to the next hurdle... the year long extension!

Update: 30 day (visa exemption) extension at IT Square Laksi Plaza, Bangkok - super simple and smooth process. All staff and even other applicants were very easy-going and helpful. TM6 not required. Whole process took less than 30 minutes for me (having already prepared my docs, photo and photocopies the previous evening) - Plenty of passport photo and photocopying services/facilities available :) FYI

Hello! Please clarify -

Do I still need TM6 for Visa exemption 30-day extension ? I didn't actually get one when flying into Bangkok and wasn't asked for it at immigration. But, I do intend on applying for an extension and I know that TM6 used to be/maybe still is required.

Thanks !

What is the current process and documents needed to change from Non B extension of stay due to employment to extension of stay due to retirement for Bangkok office?

Hello everyone! Can you kindly let me know the list of documents required for a 90 day report at Bangkok immigration to be sent by postmail?

Thank you very much and have a good day.

When getting the covid extension in Bangkok I have a question on the TM30. In Chiang Mai I had to go to another office at the immigration center and get a physical piece of paper to stick in my passport even though my hotel had registered me. Do i need to do the same in Bangkok, where do i get this piece of paper , is it the same room as the other visa extensions? My hotel has assured me I have been entered in the system and I have a photcopy of form they filled in but dont know if this is enough, trying to get everything in place so I can make the whole process as smooth as possible when I head there this week. thanks

I have applied for a COVID extension (Aussie passport) and need to go back next week to Bangkok immigration to get the stamp placed in my passport.

Do I need another appointment ?

Thanks

Closed loop on under consideration mtt. Visa exempt entry, us passport, 60 day covid extension. No lines. Handed passport, given number to sit, returned in minutes. In and out in 20 min total. Painless right now. It was almost like a fairy tale.

Just finished with my visa extension.

Was straight forward for me, I went upstairs and they gave me a card with a queue number (two cards, with the same numbers).

I waiting for about 30-45 minutes and then they start to call out the numbers. They take your passport and one card and then I waited for another 30 minutes, they then changed us to another room and returned with the passports and started calling out the numbers again.

Very straight forward process.

Do make sure you have proof of your appointment by email, as they are checking and may not let you enter without it.

Bangkok(MTT) TR 60 (Covid19 60 days extension) Report

Short: Received in consideration stamp, will need to return 9 Dec.

Long: Arrived just before 10am, no appointment, prefilled out most forms ahead of time but still asked to fill out manually 3 forms. No problem. Went back, asked to get extra copy of last stamps for Nov 30 expiry from passport. Ok, joined a long line for photocopier. No request for TM30.

3rd floor corridor with chairs, there were at maximum 6 other customers all going back and forth redoing forms like me. Not busy. Someone asked me for help, they had lost their TM6 (!). One person ahead of me with 14.5k baht worth of overstay fees arguing they didn't want to pay, was rebuked very sternly by official. But I and others was treated very fairly and once inside the main room smooth as silk. Long black jeans, full sleeve shirt, black keens and black socks. Black mask. Out within an hour. Could have been shorter if I had my passport copies in order.

Tip: Arrive early (see other post today for afternoon 'chaos'
