This is worth pointing out. There is no # announcement with appointment. When officer free and it's your time slot step up. Having your appointment printout in hand helps and no need to say anything

Small typo. It's 1000 single and 3800 multiple.

The appointment system at CW runs like clockwork in my experience and same judging by posts from others.

Which immigration office.

Did not realize that you had exited Thailand and returned. Indeed you just now obtained a 30 day extension. You could consider obtaining a covid extension just prior to July 25. Guess it depends on how long you wish to stay in Thailand.

If you obtained an extension at CM in April than ran till June 22+. ?? What type of extension? You can only obtain one 30 day extension. The extension that you just received....are you sure you didn't obtain a covid extension and we're given an under consideration stamp

Yes read that. IMO I don't think they will check it closely. Possibly just look at name and address (to check address province) Worst thing is send you away to make a TM30. Your other option is to use agent. More appropriate for covid extension than a simple 30 day extension but that option is available. Note a post above where that guy was not asked for tm30 at Laski.

Airport 100% For Swampy the office is Zone 2. Past security check and BEFORE passport control.

One 30 day extension per entry.

Re the TM30 it's one of those things where the answer is "may be required". Sometimes it's the doc check folk that just insist upon a standard list. TM30 being one. From some of your posts it seems you have some sort of print out from your hotel? Normally a hotel does it online and can provide an instant screenshot that shows it has been filed. Take along anything the hotel can provide. If all else fails you can check into a cheap hotel that can do TM30 online and provide you with screenshot.

Thanks for clear report. Regarding the "one year bank statement" Are you using money in bank method and just provided a bank statement? I have always only required photocopies of bankbook pages at CW.

You state .... "wants to extend the 30-day stay in Thailand after having arrived on visa exempt?" Since you entered visa exempt you will attend IT square Laski mall for extension. 3rd floor. The mall is located opposite Laski station on the Red like. It's about 3-5km from CW immigration. Mueang Thong Thani is closed.

Which area are you staying. Your location determines which immigration office you deal with. BTW forget the police office bit. Nothing to do with immigration or filing a TM30.

If that's the case then you could do it there. However you would need to do a TM30 change of address to use that office. I had some friends from USA and same as yourself ran out of time with obtaining tourist visa in the states. . Came visa exempt obtained 30 day extension in Bangkok and then had trouble with immigration in Hua Hin for covid extension. Solution 5500 to agent and job done. The 5500 included the 1900 extension fee and no under consideration period. That's important. Your immigration office won't do the correct thing which sadly is the case in Thailand. They either want you to bribe (agent) or they just making their own rules.

Even Krabi would be 4hr + drive oneway. Use an agent in Krabi. (eg Visa Plus)

It works a treat. Make sure that you are 15 minutes+ early. Often you are seen early. Make sure that you take hard copy print out of your email appointment confirmation. Personally I like to go hour + prior to appointment to obtain bank letter etc. Walk straight to counter indicated on appointment Do not go to main desk for queue number.

Only one 30 day extension per entry. So not possible to obtain 2. You could obtain a covid extension prior to July 25.

OP, you have funds in place to obtain non O retirement then easy option is to return visa exempt. You can apply for non O shortly after arriving with 15+ days remaining on your permit. The non O gives you a 90 day stamp. In last 30 days of that permit obtain 12 month extension.

Do you have 800k in a Thai bank account in your name. Is so you can apply for a non O based on retirement. BTW it's not a retirement visa. Seem to recall CM requires 21 days remaining on your permission of stay. You have more than that. Most offices 15+ is sufficient.

You need back up. First I assume that you are now in Thailand. On your current stamp it states ... "Admitted till date" How many days until expiry of that date. Have you already obtained a 30 day extension to your visa exempt entry?

You don't have a tourist visa. The stamp at entry would show that. Most likely you obtained 30 day exempt entry. Meaning NO visa. You can apply for a 30 day extension. The requirements to obtain a non O visa from that entry are clear.

Very confusing. Sounds like you obtained a 30 day visa exempt entry. If you had a visa you would have obtained that at the Vientiane consulate.

Indeed. I posted this at the start..... "Which immigration office " No response from OP and in fact zero contribution to thread. Every office has its own "rules". There is no one list fits all

I do nothing. The receipt is in your phone. Take a screenshot. You do not require printout of receipt of 90 report unless you are applying for eg a residence certificate etc

No
