Reader note. Services at the Patong office and at the Phuket airport office, to be confirmed, 13 November 2026. The official page for the Patong office gives its address, hours and telephone number, but does not list the services it provides. The Phuket Airport Immigration site links to national online systems and carries a Thai note that foreigner services are not within the authority of the airport checkpoint; no page found says the airport office takes requests from residents. Until this note is removed, confirm by telephone on 0 7634 0477 (Patong) or 076 327 138 (Phuket Airport Immigration) before you go.

The office’s public handbook page lists 17 services (the page is in Thai; English wording ours), among them:

• extension of stay for holders of rights under the Industrial Estate Authority, Petroleum and Investment Promotion Acts;
• notification of residence over 90 days (the 90-day report);
• notification of residence by the house-master, owner or hotel manager (TM30);
• permission to re-enter (re-entry permit);
• endorsement of departure and re-entry;
• residence certificates (TM.15 and TM.16), and correction of their entries;
• a substitute residence certificate (TM.17), for a change of book or a lost one;
• withdrawal of a departure endorsement;
• checking and correcting alien registration entries;
• the non-quota immigrant visa (back-dated);
• visits to detainees under section 54.

Extensions of stay for other purposes, such as tourism, are described in the Immigration Bureau’s own handbooks. The Bureau’s “Visa Extension” page lists the cases, each with its own criteria and documents.

Forms on the Phuket site. TM.7 (extension of temporary stay), TM.8 (re-entry permit), TM.30 (notification by the house-master, owner or possessor of the residence), TM.47 (notification of staying longer than 90 days), TM.86 (change of visa), TM.87 (application for a visa) and TM.28 (for foreigners to notify a change of address or a stay in a province over 24 hours), among others. There are also forms for a lost or stolen passport and for moving a visa stamp to a new passport.
