I have a case with the Labour Department that will probably go to the court.

I am on Amnesty at the moment.

Is there a way to extend my stay because of my case with the Labour deprtment?

Anyone has similar experience?

Answer summary

The potential to extend your stay in Thailand due to an ongoing case with the Labour Department depends on specific circumstances. If a court date has not been set, it's likely that you will need to leave the country. However, if a court date has been established and your presence is required, you might be eligible for an extension. As outlined in Thai Police Order 327/2557, those involved in litigation may obtain extensions every 90 days while their case is ongoing, although it may require regular visits to immigration.

There is no problem getting an extension based on litigation of a case here in thailand. It is clause 2.26 in the current Police Order that controls extensions (

).

I know people who got them every 90 days for years while they litigated a case, other than being a pain to go to immigrations every 90 days (the longest you can get that extension for) it was not hard at all

i feel u mate. I was like this but after a few sessions with a psychologist it all boiled down to me not getting enough love from my mom.

Consider visiting a psychologist. The sooner the better.

If a court date has not been set yet, then no. If a court date has been set, and you must be in court, then maybe, but, not all cases require that you be in court. Your lawyer can tell you the specifics. If you are representing yourself, then plan on leaving if a court date has not been set, as it can take years for a date to be set.
