Thailand Visa Extension: TM.7 Filing, Fees and Deadlines

A Thailand visa extension adds time to the permission to stay already stamped in your passport. Visa Support Thailand helps you check the correct expiry date, prepare form TM.7, organize supporting documents, avoid overstay, and understand when a re-entry permit or 90-day report is also needed.

How to Prepare for a Thailand Visa Extension

Extension problems are usually practical: the wrong expiry date, a missing TM.30, unsigned copies, bank letters dated outside the accepted window, or waiting until the final day.

Start With the Passport Stamp

The permission-to-stay date stamped in your passport controls your deadline. The visa sticker date is often different, and mixing them up can put you on overstay.

Confirm the Right Extension Route

Tourist, retirement, marriage, business, education, and dependent extensions each use different evidence. We explain what applies to your category before you file.

Check Timing Before Filing Day

Tourist extensions can be simple, but annual extensions often need earlier planning because of bank seasoning, employer documents, school letters, or family evidence.

Prepare for Related Requirements

A re-entry permit protects your extension when you leave Thailand, while 90-day reporting remains a separate duty. We help you keep those pieces straight.

Who Needs Help With a Thailand Visa Extension?

If your legal stay depends on getting the timing and paperwork right, extension support can save time and reduce uncertainty.

  • Retirees preparing annual Non-O or Non-O-A extensions
  • Tourists who need a 30-day extension before their stamp expires
  • Students and schools managing Non-ED extension documents
  • Foreign nationals extending based on marriage to a Thai national
  • Employees and business owners renewing work or business status
  • Families coordinating dependent extensions with a main applicant
  • Expats managing TM.30, re-entry permits, and 90-day reporting

Thailand Visa Extension FAQ

Questions foreigners often ask before filing a TM.7 extension in Thailand.

The government fee is 1,900 THB, paid at the immigration office when you file form TM.7. A single re-entry permit is an additional 1,000 THB and a multiple re-entry permit is 3,800 THB. Fees can change, so confirm the current amount when you file.
No. Thailand has no grace period. From the day after the expiry date stamped in your passport, you are on overstay and the fine of 500 THB per day starts immediately.
Filing about 15 to 30 days before expiry is sensible because it leaves room to correct a document. For retirement and marriage extensions, start earlier because fund seasoning and bank documents cannot always be fixed at the last minute.
Yes. A tourist visa or visa-exemption stamp is normally extendable by 30 days on form TM.7 for the standard 1,900 THB government fee. Repeated tourist extensions can attract scrutiny.
An extension adds time to your permission to stay. A re-entry permit protects that permission when you leave Thailand. Without one, leaving the country can cancel the extension you just received.
In practice, yes. Immigration expects your address notification to be on file. A missing TM.30 is a common reason applicants are sent to another desk before the extension can move forward.
No. The 90-day address report is a separate obligation that follows its own schedule from your last entry or last report. Missing it can create a separate fine.
We prepare the file with you, confirm the timing, check the documents against what your immigration office asks for, and brief you on the counter process. No agent can guarantee an outcome because the decision belongs to Thai Immigration.

What to Check Before You File TM.7

A Thailand extension is usually won or lost before you reach the counter. The file needs the right form, the right timing, and evidence that matches your visa category and address.

  • Government extension fee is commonly 1,900 THB
  • Most applicants file at the office for their address province
  • There is no grace period after the passport stamp expires
  • Completed TM.7 application form
  • Passport with current visa and latest entry stamp
  • Signed passport copies
  • Recent 4 x 6 cm photo
  • TM.30 or address notification checked
  • Bank book and bank letter timing checked when required
  • Marriage, school, employment, or company evidence prepared
  • Re-entry permit planned before any overseas travel

Do Not Wait Until the Final Day

Busy immigration offices may stop issuing queue tickets before closing, and some documents need to be dated inside a short window. Filing 15 to 30 days before expiry gives you room to fix small problems before they become expensive ones.

Immigration requirements can change and category rules vary. Final guidance depends on your passport stamp, visa history, address province, documents, and filing date.
