I am German 46 yrs. old. I have a 60 day tourist visa with single entry. I am already in Thailand.

Do I have to do a visa run to get another 30 days or is it enough to extend at immigration office. If so, is there an immigration office at Phuket? What should I do? Thanks for any input. I have studied many websites and post but still do not know.

You take two 4x6cm photos and 1,900 baht to immigration office (in Phuket) and fill out TM.7 form asking for 30 days extension of stay for tourist reasons.

thanks for this but WHERE is this immigration office in Phuket?

The main office is in the City as per map. Believe there is also an office at Patong Beach but don't know location.

the immigration office is currently closed (they levelled the old building, guess they are making a new one) - the new temporary office is situated opposite the old one, on the above map it would be at the Marine Police offices - its clearly signposted, not difficult to see.

Thanks again for the utile info

The main office is in the City as per map. Believe there is also an office at Patong Beach but don't know location.

The Patong Beach office is on the beach road almost opposite (a few metres to the north) the junction with Soi Bangla - on the beach side.
