So i'm here with my partner on ed visa and plan to repeat another year. We due to leave the kingdom on the 12th July but want to see Blackpink in concert on the 13th :P

Is there a possibility to pre warn immigration and ask for an extra 1/2 days as i dont want any issues with next visa entry. Thanks ๐Ÿ™

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires about the possibility of extending their ED visa to attend a concert in Thailand, highlighting their concern about issues with immigration if they leave on the scheduled date. Comments from the community suggest that there is no official provision for a short extension, advising the user to either seek a formal extension at the immigration office or risk overstaying. It's recommended to plan departure accordingly to avoid complications.

Pre warn sound a bit like 'tell' tbh. Id always 'ask' but either way, as Tod says there isn't a half day waiver formally.

You either go to the immigration office and get a 7 day 'extension denied' stamp (that gives you a week to leave) or you end up on overstay <- which I would suggest you avoid doing.

not wise to intentionally OVERSTAY. It could pose a problem for you when you seek new visas.
