How we work together

1
Assessment and filing strategy

You fill in a short questionnaire and hand over the basics of your case.

We assess the risk — past stamps, refusals, overstays — build the filing strategy and fix the final price with no hidden charges.

2
Assembling the document package

You collect the documents from our checklist — bank statement, certificates, photo, bookings.

We audit the documents: statement format, translations, dates, wording. You get corrections back.

3
Filing and communication

You complete the e-Visa form under our supervision and pay the consular fee.

We run the process, track the status and help you answer any follow-up request from the consulate.

4
Visa issued

You enter Thailand.

We check the issued visa for consulate errors and give you border-crossing instructions.

Common mistakes

01
Leaving it until the last day

A missing document on the final day turns an extension into an overstay. Start with days in hand.

02
Forgetting the re-entry permit

A one-year extension ends the moment you leave the country without one. This catches people every year.

03
TM30 not filed

The landlord or hotel is supposed to file it. Whether they did is your problem at the counter.

04
Wrong office

The office is determined by your registered address, not by convenience.

FAQ

How much does an extension cost?

The government fee for a standard extension of stay is 1,900 THB. What it takes to qualify depends on the basis you are extending on.

When can I apply?

Before your current permission expires. The exact window varies by office and by basis, and some offices accept applications further ahead than others.

What is TM30 and why does it keep coming up?

It is the registration of where you are living, filed by the property owner. Immigration checks it, and a missing TM30 stops an otherwise complete application.

Can I leave Thailand during my extension?

Only with a re-entry permit. Without one, the extension ends when you exit — even if months remained on it.
