Hi all,
I am on an extension of stay (uk passport holder) which expires on the 19th May. (Jomtien imm office)
I need to go to the US for a business trip 28Apr - 8th May.
Is there any issue with applying for the extension of stay and then leaving the country for 2 weeks (i will get a single re-entry permit at the airport for my existing extension of stay).
TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around a UK passport holder seeking advice on applying for an extension of stay in Thailand while planning a business trip to the US. The consensus is that he can apply for the extension of stay prior to his trip, ensuring it is done within 30 days of the current expiration. Users advised to obtain the extension before applying for a re-entry permit, which allows for returning to Thailand after the US trip. Proper procedures include obtaining a Thailand Pass and being aware of the different requirements depending on visa type.
