Phuket Insider Tip
👕
Dress code for Phuket Immigration It sounds simple, but dressing politely (shoulders and knees covered) makes a real difference. Phuket officers appreciate the respect, and it often leads to a smoother and faster interaction. Avoid beachwear!

Which visas can be extended in Phuket?

Tourist visas, visa exemptions and most Non-Immigrant categories (Non-O for retirement, marriage, family and more) can usually be extended at Phuket Immigration. How much extra time you get and which documents you need depend on your visa type and reason for staying.

Documents you usually need

  • Passport with the current visa or entry stamp
  • TM30 (proof-of-address notification)
  • Completed TM7 extension form and a photo
  • Supporting documents for your reason (financial proof, marriage or retirement evidence)

Rules change. Exact requirements and fees depend on your category and current Immigration practice in Phuket. We confirm your list before you go.

How we help
