We are a Spanish and a Polish citizens entering Thailand on a land border from Cambodia. We intend to stay in Thailand for 17 days. Do we need a tourist visa or we will be able to extend our 15 day entry visa granted on the border? If we need to extend, what would be the price? Thank you for your reply.
You will only receive 15 days at the land border therefore you MUST have a proper tourist visa issued by Thai embassy in Cambodia in order for you to stay longer than 15 days.

Hello, my visa expires on 21 December and I would like to extend it for 30 more days. Can I do it on the immigration office near fisherman village at Koh Samui? The 20,000 baht finance has to be shown in money or we can just show a comparative in euros? Thank you.

Ok so here’s the deal. I initially came to Thailand with the 30 day stamp and extended it for another 60 days. I wanted to extend it for another 30 days but failed to arrive at the immigration office on time. A woman at the desk assured me that they pardon a technical overstay for a week even though I’ve read online they fine you 500 baht a day. She also said that I will need a flight confirmation out of Thailand even though I did not need this to extend the first time. So I have two questions:
1) will I be fined when I try again to extend my visa?
2) Do I need a flight confirmation (or any other type of documents) to extend from 60 to 90 days?
You need to contact the lady who spoke to you. If you would ask for our advice, you will be overstay already and you cannot file for any extension. You must leave Thailand and pay for overstay fine at the airport.
What are the documents needed to apply for extension of visa?
That depends on what type of visa do you wish to extend. Please call the immigration contact center 1111 for more information.
I need to extend my visa though I need 3 more days. That means I need to buy the 60 days extension for 1,900 bath, right? Am I not able to do this application at the immigration Office in Chiang Mai or Koh Samui?
Regards,
Alice
You can file for the extension at the Thai immigration office in Chiang Mai or Koh Samui as long as you do it before the expiry of the permit to stay. The fee is 1900 baht and you will submit 1 passport photo.

Hello,
My boyfriend and I have 60 day tourist visas which expire on 30th December. However, we would like to stay in Thailand until 5th January due to our friends visiting for christmas and new year. Is there an option to extend our visas by a shorter period than 30 days? Or would we have to extend by 30 days at the cost of 1,900 baht? Also we are on Koh Lanta at the moment so would the closest immigration office be Krabi town?
Many thanks.
Hayley
Whether it is 7 days or 30 days the fee is still 1900 baht per person. You can do the extension at the local immigration office in Krabi town.
