Hi all I am from the UK on a 60 days visa exemption I would like to apply for a 30 day extention at. kho samui immigration office how many days before my 60 days stamp is due to expire should I go to samui immigration to get the 30 extension total time 90 days here

Anyone have recent experience with obtaining a residency certificate at Suratthani Immigration? Is it same day or next day? I'm on Phangan where they only give 1 at a time and I need 2 for 2 different reasons.

Hi,

I’m on a DTV and will need to do my first 90 days report. I know I need to attend in person and will go to koh samui immigration.

I understand now that I need a TM.6 arrival/departure card. I didn’t pick one up on arrival and wasn’t asked for one at customs.

I believe I may be able to ask for one at immigration.

Can anyone offer advice please, I want to avoid issues at immigration.

Thank you

Edit: I can now see on the internet and answers that a TM6 no longer a requirement. Thank you

I am 71 years old and on ME OA (R) Visa issued in South Africa. Valid until 27 Feb 2025. I need to do first one year extension in Feb 2025. I want to use the Income method but my problem is that I only managed to open Bank Account in April.

(We arrived in March) I do have proof of arriving with Forex in excess of Baht 100 k cash for March but will only have bank statements for 11 months to prove 65k income. Will immigration accept the cash forex as income for March to meet the 12 month requirement?

If it is an option could I use a combination Income plus 400k bank

balance ?

We are in Lamai Koh Samui

Thanks folks.

Has anyone applied and received residence certificate at Koh Samui immigration recently? Just getting all our papers together and hoping not to be missing anything 😆

This is the requirement list for non imm O and OA extensions on Koh Samui, and now, also Phangan.

The requirement for a house number photo (Item 12.) is new to me, but no problem.

Item 13. I dont recollect seeing before and dont recognise the numeric 654/2564

Anyone know?

🙏

Hi all, does anyone have a recent (1-2 months) list of extension requirements for O-A (retirement) visa from Koh Samui immigration office? Time to extend again or change to O (due to insurance).

Hello. I am Japanese and entered the country on a tourist visa. I have a Thai wife. I prepared all the documents and applied for my first O visa (Thai wife) at the immigration office on Koh Samui on July 26th. They said they would send my documents to the head office in Hat Yai. My tourist visa expires on August 13th, but the immigration office told me that my O visa would arrive before then. On July 27, the immigration office also conducted a home visit. However, I was told that the visa had not arrived by August 13th. When I was accepted on Koh Samui, I was told that I had a 90% chance of passing, so I had to wait. They say if you pass, you won't be overstayed. Since then, I have been calling the immigration office on Koh Samui every day on weekdays to confirm whether my visa has arrived, but I have been told that it has not yet arrived. There are no stamps on my passport, only the writing in pen. Is it normal to have to wait this long? Or if I fail, am I overstaying? I'm in big trouble.

1301 is my reception number.

I also have a receipt for the payment of ฿2000.
