Hi guys - hoping for an answer…

My parents arrived on 2 Feb on 60 day tourist visa. Stamped in until 1 April. They want to go to immigration for 30 day extension tomorrow-29 March - to be on the safe side (rather than leaving it until Monday when visa expires). If they go tomorrow will they be stamped in until 29 April or 1 May? Thanks in advance 🙏

This maybe a question that’s already been answered but I was wondering if it’s possible to book a month in Thailand and if I wanted to extend my stay a further 2/3 weeks would I need to get a tourist visa or be able to visit the Thai embassy in Thailand to extend? Thanks in advance

Hello ka,

I have a question to ask.

I need to transfer Non-O visa to the new US passport. Is it true that now the immigration will no longer need the linkage letter to confirm the old US passport to be transferred to new one?

Thank you very much for your help 🙏

ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS;

APRIL HOLIDAY CLOSURES

# ALL Immigration offices in the country will be closed;

Monday April 8th

Friday April 12th

Monday April 15th

Tuesday April 16th

If you have a stamp that expires on a day the immigration office is closed (weekend or holiday) AND you go the very next business day they're open you can get your extension like normal, not be fined for overstay. You WILL get an overstay stamp in your passport but it will say (overstay xxx days fine waived due to holiday)

BORDERS ARE OPEN LIKE NORMAL

I am on a non-immigration O visa that expires on 4 April 2024. I was in the United States for a few months, and when I returned to Thailand last week, the immigration officer stamped my visa with an expiration date of 22 June 2024. He said I could stay with the non-O visa for 90 days, which would be better than a 30-day tourist visa.

I recently got hired by a Thai company that is willing to sponsor my work permit (non-B visa). The company’s lawyer says I should have gotten a 30-day tourist visa because we cannot change a non-O visa to a non-B visa at the Bangkok immigration office. He suggests I go to Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) and request a 30-day tourist visa.

It seems odd that I cannot change from Non-O to Non-B from within the country. Is this true?

For Chaengwattana immigration, does anyone know 1) What format of family pictures with Thai wife are needed for a Non-O visa extension (Thai Spouse). Do they have to be printed on photopaper or does it have to be colored or B&W printed on normal paper? 2) Can the map just be google maps with condo circled?
