August 27, 201213 yr Hi Apologies in advance if this has already been answered before, or/and if I am being a bit thick. I am flying to bangkok this evening, will receive a 30 day visa on arrival (wanted to get a 60 day one in advance, but ran out of pages in my passport!), and would like to go along to get it extended by 7 days in the morning. Can anyone tell me where the correct immigration office is in Bangkok is for this? The official thai government website ( http://www.immigration.go.th/nov2004/en/base.php?page=location ) says one place, but this website from late 2011 ( http://onestep4ward.com/extend-thai-visa-bangkok/ ) says that office is now closed and google maps gives me another location ( http://goo.gl/maps/Z6FYE ) Also another official looking website mentions several offices - http://bangkok.immigration.go.th/intro1.html Will any of those do? Regards Jonathan
August 27, 201213 yr Not at all sure you can do now as that is a disapproved extension of stay that allows you to remain an additional 7 days - a visa exempt entry can not be extended. You might find it easier to just cross border and return near end of 30 day stay - from Bangkok will only cost about the same as extension application and provides 15 days.
August 27, 201213 yr ^ My BiL (the one Immigration told to just overstay) ended up getting his Visa Exempt extended by the 7 days.. OP, Chaeng Wattana is the office for Bangkok. Suan Plu only deals with migrant workers now. http://bangkok.immigration.go.th/en/move.html
