Visa Extension in Pattaya Immigration Office
I am here with a 60 day Tourist Visa. Last year I went to the Immigration Office in Jomtien and extended it for another 30 days for 1,900 baht.
I was talking to an expat last night who was telling me they don't do the 30 day extension on Tourist Visa's anymore. That I would get a one or two week extension depending on the Immigration Officer. So basically he advised me to do a Visa run to Cambodia for 2,000 baht to get another month. Does anyone know what the current policy is ?

Dunno mate, I thought you could extend a 30 day visa on arrival by 14 days but they said only 7 days so maybe they've changed what you can and cannot do.
They have a website but I got pissed off after about 5 mins of reading through all the small print. http://www.pattaya-immigration.org/index.php?lang=EN

Thanks for the link penetrator.
http://www.pattaya-immigration.org/v...ourist&lang=EN According to the bit above. I can still get 30 days. Nice one finding the Immigration Office website. That saves me sitting in a minibus for the day ! Application for extension of tourist visa Foreigners applying for the first time for an extension of stay are given a 30 day extension from the date of expiry of the original admission, except for citizens of Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan, Iran, Bangladesh, Nepal, Nigeria, Togo, and Uganda, whose application for extension of stay will not be approved and the applicants are ordered to leave the kingdom within seven days.

You can even print out an application form from the website, saves you having to fill it in down there among smelly krauts and arabs. I got told to come back next day n'all.

Are you sure those rules are current? I was reading something on the hull consulate site the other day that had a big notice advising that extentions are no longer automatically granted but are at the discretion of the immigration officer and to make sure you have the correct visa before travelling.

I don't have the 30 day visa on arrival but the 60 day tourist visa. Again this guy was saying, like monsterman that you're not guaranteed to get 30 days anymore. He was adamant that 14 days was all they'd give you know.
