Laksi IT Square Bangkok 30 Day Extension Tourist

[vikc]

I just got my 30 Days Extension at Bangkok Immigration.

Just wanted to inform people who need the required info :

 

I arrived at 10am and waited for 2 hours in the initial queue to get my token number 282 at 1pm.

 

My turn to submit the docs and make the payment came around 1600hrs and the passport was returned to me by 1650hrs.

 

So this is the timeline at the moment in Bangkok guys! Crazy 7 hours long wait.... Last year in 2024 I did my extension around the 3rd week of December and everything was done in under 1 hour if I remember correctly.

June 2024 extension took me around 3-4 hours...

So this time was the record! I guess I am gonna try using the online thingy in the future.

Cheers

Just for others...did you provide TM30 with your application

I did bring it along, but at the counter the lady put it aside and said not needed.

But I did see others with their Tm30's being stapled into their dosier.

I don't know why?

I usually go there around 8 AM to avoid waiting the whole day. If you arrive just before they open you should be out around 9.30.

I second that. If you arrive slightly before opening and if possible with all or most documents ready, you'll be out within an hour or so.

 

If you come around 10am, be ready for a long day indeed. Place gets packed real quick.

 

They usually ask tm30 for people who provide a condo address and not a hotel from what I observed. I might be wrong about that.
