Tourist visa extension 60+30, bkk vs sriracha

[Matej]

Hi

 

on weekends I stay in bkk, on weekdays I'm in Sriracha. Soon I have to extend my tourist visa.

My question is, where is a better place to do it.

 

The problem is that last year I got fined for not reporting my address, TM30, in Sriracha and I want to avoid this situation now.

It's quite expensive extension for my taste ...

See here

 

I stay with my gf in bkk and friend in Sriracha, so as you would expect no-one reported me to immigration that I stay with them.

 

Is it possible for me to go to immigration only once, won't get finned and get visa extension without anyone doing TM30 on me?

 

Or should Thais I stay with report me? Is there some online formular for that, or fast simple way ...

 

Thank you for any advice.

Immigration in Bangkok would be the best choice. You would just need to put a Bangkok address on the application form. No TM30 form will be needed.

Bangkok.

 

Next time you visit, if your friend in Sriracha submits a TM30 when you arrive, you should have no problem doing an extension of stay at that office and won't get fined.

That means I don't need any confirmation from house owner that I live there. No paper, no his signature somewhere, no copy of his ID card?

 

I just write addreas there and no one will ask anything about it?

Yes, correct.

Yes, you just need to give your Bangkok address on the TM.7 form.

 

You need:

• TM.7 Application for an extension of stay.
• 1 x photo 6x4 cm
• Signed copies of your passport: ID page, Visa, Entry Stamp, Departure card.

Correct, use your Bangkok adress.

For the simple reson i that with the volime of foriegners actually staying in Bangkok, they simply don't have the manpower to verify all their Bangkok adresses.

But of course, never say a thing like that to immigration, just because you should never wave a Red flag in front of a bull.

The bull might get angry and charge the flag.
