solomon david Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) i am getting out of bed about 6.30am on friday morning and take the train up to mo chit and thereafter heading up to muang thon thani in the hope of securing myself with at least a 30 day extension to my 30 day visa exempt stamp i arrived in thailand(into don muang airport)from siem reap in cambodia on march 9th,2020 and will have my uk passport,1,900baht,2 passport size photos but wont have the tm6 immigration form which i had upon arrival but which was lost soon after my opening few days in bangkok Also i wont have any uk embassy letter as this is to be my first tourist visa extension application I will probably be taking along considerable patience as the matter might be drawn out and time consuming Any hints or tips to facilitate my application would be most welcome The stamp from my arrival on march 9th is in my passport as is the stamp for my expected departure9(april 7th) Edited April 2, 2020 by solomon david Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackcwba Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Don’t worry about that stupid tm card, yes it’s a requirement but they don’t really care about them. i lost mine and it wasn’t an issue at all, it’s just a piece of paper with your name, date of birth and pass port number that’s hand written, all of which is in your passport anyway, people lose them all the time. if it’s your first extension you won’t need a uk letter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisroundtheworld Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Are you going to bring proof of residency? Are you staying in a hotel? I currently am at a hotel, and I'm an american going to extend a visa exemption next week as well. I'm still a little confused as to the exact requirements.

Next time scan all important documents in and send them to your email account. Then you've got access to it from anywhere, should you lose something. Best of Luck!

3Bridge Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Probably too late now, but be there for 6:30 if you want to get it done at a reasonable time, not wake up at 6:30. Although it's a different building and visa type, I showed up at chaeng watthana this morning at 6:30 and was still number 55 in the queue. There will be far more people doing the visa exempt extension so you'll pretty much guaranteed get a worse queue number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
