On average your visa extension can take between 4-6 hours to complete on an average day. The 90 day reporting will take about 1 hour to complete on average (note the new location for that). Traffic on Chaengwattana road is a nightmare so don’t go late as the road gets bumper to bumper traffic very early. You can extend your tourist visa at their offices or you can also extend your Thai marriage visa or Thai retirement visa at their offices. This process takes about 3 weeks to complete if you have all your documents completed. Below are the contact details for Thai immigration in Bangkok.

For those who wish to extend their retirement visa or marriage visa. If you have a passport from any African country (South Africa to Libya) you will need to ensure that you have your fingerprints and criminal record check from Thai Special Branch Police. It normally take 3 weeks to get your finger prints back from them as immigration will want this or they will not renew or extend your visa without it. (This is new and started in 2019)

If you are trying to extend you Thai tourist visa then the taxi driver will understand “Thai immigration Chang Wattana”. Its a very tonal language but that pronunciation they can understand. If you are looking for someone that has been arrested for a visa overstay then it will not be here. You will need to check Thai immigration in Suan Plu also (Pronounced Swan Plew) which is where the IDC (Immigration Detention Centre) is located.
