cyril sneer Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 How many days before should this be applied for? Does it require a trip to Bangkok to do? Or can I go to my local immigration (Khon Kaen)? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Do it in Khon Kaen about a week before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohyesuare Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I've done it 30 days before many times in the past, any more than that, they'll probably tell you to come back another day. You need to do your extensions at the immigration office associated with your TM30 address usually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly, you said: Quote I've done it 30 days before many times in the past, any more than that, they'll probably tell you to come back another day Nobody is going to tell you to come back another day if you apply more than 30 days in advance, as at that time you won't even have entered Thailand yet. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not the same when applying for a 30 day extension of stay. About 2 weeks is the most that many office will accept a application for one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking about my previous experience with 60 day covid extensions and always doing them 30 days in advance. I didn't think it was different for visa exempt extensions, thanks for the correction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiexpat Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I normally do the 30 day extensions 2 weeks out but one time I actually did it just after arrival at the same time I filed my TM30. Was approved no problem so not sure if lucky or this is fine to do so (saved me a trip to immigration) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
