Questioner: Rys
I have a (type of visa) Non-immigrant, category O, (no. of entry) multiple (valid until June 16, 2022). My 14 day stay expires on March 90. However, I would like to extend this stay by 90 days until June 10.
My question is what documents, except copy of passport, visa, and TM.6 do I need? And how many days before March 14 can I request this? I am staying in Jomtien and Khon Kaen, which immigration office can you recommend?
Many thanks in advance for your advices.

You normally cannot get a 90-day extension of your stay. Not as a Retired, Thai Marriage or Thai child anyway.
The fact that you have a Non-immigrant O Multiple entry does not entitle you to a 90-day extension. The Multiple entry only says something about the times you can enter Thailand with that visa. Until June 16, 22 in your case. With every entry you will then receive another 90 days stay.
The options that remain are then:
- If you are married or have a Thai child you can get an extension of 60 days
- You can request a year extension if you are Retired, Thai marriage or Thai child.
- You can leave and re-enter Thailand if you have a multiple entry. You will then have another 90 days.
Please note, because you will then have to comply with the applicable Corona measures again.
Maybe a 60-day Corona extension is still a solution, but I'm afraid of that. Is normally only if you have entered as a Tourist and if you meet certain conditions. But you can try of course.
You must use the immigration office where your normal residence is. But I think Khom Kaen is a bit calmer towards Jomtien.
For an annual extension, you can request this as standard 30 days before the end of the period of stay.
60 days is usually a week before end of stay, but it's only when immigration will accept it. Could be a month in advance.
