Visa
Make an appointment online for tourist visa extensions – Thai Immigration
For those who need to extend their tourist visa, the Thai Immigration Bureau asks that applicants make an appointment online to reserve their spot in line. The bureau says the online appointments are aimed at preventing the spread of Covid-19 by reducing overcrowding and making sure people abide by social distancing practices.
Applicants who need to extend a tourist visa, or the new Special Tourist Visa, should make an online reservation queue at bangkokimmigration.com (astonishingly all in Thai with no other languages, although there is a menu item ‘Queue Online’ on the top right hand corner of the site).
Walk-in services are still available at Muang Thong Thani Temporary Services Centre.
When making a queue reservation, fill in the required information, print out the confirmation email and bring it to the appointment.

Interesting. I mail my 90 day in which is easy and visit once a year to renew my retirement extension. There were few people at immigration last time so maybe this is a good way to reduce the number of people there. It used to be packed with others when I first got here. Maybe some miss being with 500 of their closest friends.

For my last extension for Non-O visa, i also had to make an appointment online.
When i deposit my visa file, i scanned a QRCode on a board. This QRCode lead to website with LINE address of an immigration officer. Then, i filled an e form with attachments and i sent. I received an appointment date in return under 5 minutes.
When i’ve been there on d-day, i waited only 15 minutes instead of 1 hour.
I think this is a very good thing.

The site seems pretty clear, as does the pic here, and the article – for Bangkok / Maung Thong Thani Immigration.

Hello, Mr “I know everything” 😉
In my Province (not Bangkok), this is also the new regulation.

Congratulations.
Try booking for your province on the Muang Thong Thani site.
God almighty, how simple do things have to be for you?

Hello g
I live in the south and here, it is notified by immigration staff : “For ANY visa renew, you must register on the queue list via QR-Code”. Then, demanders receive an appointment date by email.
This is exactly what i did 15 days ago for a NON-O Visa.

The link quoted ( https://bangkokimmigration.com ) is only in Thai language, which is probably not much use to most expats.
Also – Not explicitly stated in the article is that the system ONLY applies to Bangkok residents (i.e. Immigration District 1)

There is a menu item in the top right, in English, to book a position in the queue (we’ve added a screenshot)

It’s explicit in the screenshot that it’s only for Immigration Muang Thong Thani.
How spoon-fed do you need to be?

As a person who is never off the computer it might be easy for you ij for some maybe it’s not so easy stop belittling people and keep your thoughts to yourself hopeful one day soon your visa is declined and you have to come back to UK with your tail between your legs 555

They should just stress the point that when booking online, one must go in the other center, not at the govt complex. They write somewhere on the website but the confirmation email does not report it, so one may forget. It is not a question of spoonfeeding, but just poor UX management.

Thanks for your helpful comment. I just booked an online appointment to renew my visa. What is the appropriate location/address to go to?

I found this post super confusing & so were the government websites. Clearly there is a reference to a tourist visa TR 60 and STV. Meanwhile, I have neither, I’m just here tourist exempt with 30 days I want to extend for 30 more. The website to make an appointment doesn’t even have this option on its drop-down. So I fell back to the Facebook group which has experts to help, and they said I do indeed want counter K @ MuangThong Thani. So after more than 2 hours wasted on Google, I hope this helps someone else. This country is bureaucratic!!! Used to getting 90 day extensions with 10 minutes of trouble online in Colombia.
