Thailand Visa Extension Guide

Thailand allows tourists to extend their 60-day tourist visa for an additional 30 days at the discretion of immigration officials. The process is straightforward but requires proper preparation.

The extension must be applied for before your current visa expires. It's recommended to apply 7-10 days before expiration to avoid any issues.

You must apply in person at an immigration office. The process typically takes a few hours, and the extension is usually granted on the same day.

The TM.30 is a Notification Form for Housemaster, Owner, or the Possessor of the Residence Where an Alien Has Stayed. This form must be completed within 24 hours of your arrival by the owners of the lodging where you are staying. There is a fine if it is not submitted promptly.

Your hotel or Airbnb should provide proof of this to you. If for some reason you don't trust that your host has completed it, you can submit it yourself at the local immigration office.
