The Pattaya Immigration Office is no longer located on Soi 8 off Beach Road Pattaya. The new location of the Immigration Office in Pattaya is Soi 5 at Jomtien Beach. This is the one and only place to go in the Pattaya area to extend your tourist visa, give notification of 90 days stay in the Kingdom of Thailand if you have a non immigrant visa or to get a certificate of residence in Thailand for some type of legal reason.

The cost of a 30 day extension of your Thai tourist visa at the Pattaya Immigration Office is 1,900 baht. You need to get this at or before the 60 day period of your tourist visa. You can only extend your Thai tourist visa for an additional 30 days and then you must leave Thailand to get another tourist visa or do a border run to get a 30 day entry into Thailand. The 30 day entry permit into Thailand cannot be extended. To get a 30 day extension of your Thai tourist visa you need 1 passport size photo, 1 completed form and copies of your passport, departure card and current visa stamp. The process to get an extension is usually only 15-20 minutes.

All holders of non immigrant visas must report to the Immigration Office in Pattaya or any other Immigration Office in Thailand and show their passport every 90 days. Even though the non immigrant B visa for example is a 1 year visa, you still need to report to Immigration every 90 days or your visa is no longer valid.

The Pattaya Immigration Office is also the place to go if you need a certificate of residence for some type of legal reason or perhaps you wanted to buy a motor car or motor bike and have the vehicle registered in your name. You will need a certificate of residence for such purchases. The certificate of residence procedure is to go to the Immigration Office before lunch time, submit your paperwork and return in the afternoon to pick up your certificate.

The staff at the Pattaya Immigration Office are efficient and there are English speaking information staff to help you with the correct form and any other immigration information you need.
