ubonjoe Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 You can a apply for a 30 day extension of your 30 day visa exempt entry at immigration. You will need a completed TM7 application form with a 4cm X 6cm photo attached, copy of your passport photo page, entry/permitted to stay stamp and TM6 departure card. Plus the 1900 baht fee.

ubonjoe Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 The TM6 is the card you fill out on arrival and is then the departure part is stapled in your passport. TM7 form print two sided: http://www.immigration.go.th/nov2004/download/pdf/tm7.pdf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Retired2013 Posted October 22, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) I just did this about a month ago. Go to the government building at Chaengwattana. Take the MRT or BTS to Chatuchak, then a taxi to the complex. (I spent 30 minutes wandering around before I found out I was on the wrong side of the building). Downstairs there are numerous shops that will take your photo and have TM7 forms for you to fill out. It costs 100 baht. I arrived at noon and immigration closes from noon to 1PM, so I went downstairs and had my photo taken and filled out a TM7. At about 12:45 I went to get in line and was about number 20. By 1 PM there were probably 50 people behind me. The lady that gives you a cue number will look over your form. On mine, she crossed out Bangkok as the arrival point and wrote "Suwannabhumi". (I lost my departure card and obtained a new one from Thai air in Silom a few days earlier. The "cue" lady caught that really quick, but I told her I lost it and it was no big deal). You will be given a ticket with a letter and a number. The letter has to do with what you are applying for, and the number is what number in line you are. When I was called, I was photographed with my glasses on and with them off. The immigration lady also wanted the name and room number of the hotel I was staying at, and my cell phone number. 1900 baht and 45 minutes later, I had a 30 day extension. There will be a whole line of taxis waiting at the entrance so it's easy to get back to where you are staying. (First post: 56 years young from USA).

yumidesign Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Hi All, Long time no contact. Back in the Kingdom on a 30 day visa exemption and want to apply for a 30 day extension as a tourist at Chiang Mai immigration. Is the information about the requirements on this forum still correct as i see the last post was October 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophon Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 No changes. But note that the Immigration office in Chiang Mai since July has been divided into two locations, with some services including tourist extensions being done at a new location at the Promenada shopping mall. You can no longer go to the old Immigration office close to the airport. Sophon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yumidesign Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 (edited) thanks Sophon. One does certainly have to keep on ones toes to keep up with the changes. Has anyone else had experience with this ? Edited August 8, 2015 by yumidesign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yumidesign Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I have read on Chiang Mai Life that there is a shuttle from the old immigration office near the airport to the Promenada office, does anyone know if this still runs. The article said that it runs every 1/2 hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
