Advice on visa agency required

[Father of Godfahter]

Just a one month extension for a visa free (stamp only) entry. Do not really want to visit the Jomtien immigration again. Please, advise on the agency who can deal with it for me. 
 

Thank you

Try Maneerat Soi post office. 

Soi 13/2

Thank you for help. But how do I identify the specific agency on the maneerat street? Does it have any name?

I didn't give the laugh emoji but rest assured there will be plenty more.

 

Maneerat is possibly the most well know agent in Pattaya.

That is their company name.

 

Soi Post Office is actually Soi 13/2.

Anyone regular to Pattaya would be aware of that. 

This thread lists agents in Pattaya.

Can you report back with your experience.

Visa exempt extension is straight forward but yes hot weather and currently Jomtien immigration seems busy from reports.

 

To prepare in advance you could ask your hotel for screenshot of their TM30 report.

Agent may request that and would save added trip.

Suggest you ring Maneerat.

Just Google that name and contact info, map etc listed.

Ask for Nam

The OP is obviously not a "regular" and using Soi 13/2 would have been less confusing b

He could have come back asking for clarification without being flippant about it.

 

And guess what comes up right on top when you search Google Maps for  "Maneerat Soi Post Office".

Dr Jack, I have another question for you. I left Thailand (where I lived for 3 years at one and the same location registered with the Jomtien immigration) 6 months ago. Now I came back. Can I now use my old address registration (as if I am still living there) and to avoid all the new address procedure registration or there is no choice but to register a new address with the Immigration?

If you have returned on a fresh entry (i.e. not using a re-entry permit) a new TM30 notification is compulsory.

How did you return to Thailand.

Meaning did you reenter with new visa or visa exempt entry then you need to make a new TM30.

 

If you returned with  reentry permit then new TM30 not required.

Excuse me for too many question, but one more. What documents an hotel should provide me with to register my address with them at the immigration?

If you stay at a hotel, the hotel has to register you. They can provide you with proof of that registration, typically a screenshot from the online system. You can then take that along to immigration when you apply for an extension.

What if I just checked into the hotel the same day I am going to visit the Immigration?

If the hotel is cooperative (and does the TM30 notification online like almost all hotels) they should be able to do the notification and provide you with the evidence within a few minutes.
