- Extends total legal stay under exemption to 90 continuous days.
- The 30 days are added to your original stamp date, regardless of when you file.
- Requires an active TM.30 residence record filed by your accommodation.
Travelers residing in Thailand under the 60-day visa exemption scheme can legally prolong their stay by 30 days by filing an application at a local Immigration Office.
Standard Documentation Checklist:
- Original Passport: Must have at least 6 months remaining validity and a clean page for the extension stamp.
- Form TM.7: Completed and signed application form for extension of temporary stay.
- Passport Photo: One recent 4 x 6 cm color photograph taken on a white background within the last 6 months.
- Photocopies: Photocopies of passport bio page, entry stamp, visa exemption stamp, and TM6 departure card (if applicable).
- TM.30 Address Verification: Confirmation that your hotel, host, or landlord has registered your residential address in the immigration database.
- Government Fee: 1,900 THB payable in cash.
Critical Timing Advice:
Submit your extension within the final 7 to 14 days of your permitted stay. Applying early does not cause you to lose days, as the 30-day addition is calculated consecutively from the original expiry date.
