Can I request a 30-day extension on my multiple-entry tourist visa if I went on amnesty?

okay people I think we need to understand the difference between a visa and an entry stamp and what each allows you to do

A visa does not let you STAY in thailand it allows you to request to get in AND if you're allowed in you'll get stamped in for the length of time that visa allows (in the O/P's case on a tourist visa for 60 days)

It's the 60 day ENTRY STAMP that is what lets you stay IN thailand. So if the O/P entered using a tourist visa in March, he was stamped in for 60 days until May and then he went on the amnesty until now.

That the VISA itself is still valid means NOTHING because he's not gonna exit and try to re-enter on it.

Here's my advice:

1. According to the flyer that was posted, the only reason why a 30 day extension would be granted is *IF* your embassy issues a letter saying that you can not return back home, *AND* the immigration office agrees. *IF* they approve your extension, it will be 1,900 THB.

2. You can also go in to your local immigration office, and ask them to grant you another 30 days without any embassy letter. However, expect them to want you to submit a letter from the embassy.

*IF* your embassy does not issue the letters, I would make plans to leave Thailand no later than September 26.

Technically your visa expired in May, and being that you did not extend it then, while it was still valid, it has expired, and you are on amnesty from overstay fines. You can try to get an extension, but also be ready to book your plane flight home.

Nothing wrong with request another 30 days, but be aware that the last announcement did not mention it and your request can be denied
