My current Non-B visa yearly extension expires on July 31. Due to it being difficult to sort out all the paperwork for an extension in time, could I extend my visa by 90 days or get some kind of "under consideration" period?

Leaving Thailand is not an option.
Answer summary
The user inquires about extending their Non-B visa, which is set to expire on July 31, and seeks options such as a 90-day extension or a period of consideration. The responses suggest that without further action, the user will face expiration upon the visa's end. Recommendations include either sorting out paperwork promptly for a standard extension or paying overstay penalties, advising against relying solely on their employer for immigration assistance.

Well, I am a NNES teacher at a private school over 1,000 km away from Bangkok. It's not that simple.

Since my school is in the restive south and we have preciously few foreign teachers, the yearly routine doesn't seem to be ingrained in their brains.😉

take action in case it doesn't happen. don't rely on your employer to sort things out.

they should know how to do papers, they hire teachers regularly.

looking grim for border hops in the near future. if possible at all, it may end in 14 days' quarantine on both ends.

that said, pretty much nothing is certain at the moment, and anything certain ain't likely to stay certain for long

At this time <- that means as of right now, no you can't when your 90 day entry stamp from your Non-B expires you either apply for a yearly extension OR you're done being here on that visa.

It's actually an extension, not the visa. Sorry for the confusion.

Last year my papers weren't complete, so the officer in charge gave me fourteen days under consideration. Just wanna know if I could just extend my yearly extension by 90 days first to get stuff sorted out.

@David *****
you were super lucky, they usually just tell you no.

BUT I'm SURE there is no 90 day extension on an B visa, you apply for the year or you don't get anything.

Still you're out nothing by trying it, all they would tell you is no

If they tell me no, that means I must leave Thailand right?

Does your visa actually expire on 31 July?

@Bobby *******
Yes. My visa extension actually expires on that exact day. It has nothing to do with the visa amnesty rules.
