Non-Immigrant B Visa Visa Extension Thai Immigration Visa Application Process Bangladeshi Visa Expat Advice

ORIGINAL POSTER

I submitted my visa (non-Imm b) extension application last month. I received a stamp until Thursday, may 26, at which time I will go to immigration to get a stamp for another 2 months.

I need to apply for a Bangladeshi visa for a work trip that departs next Friday. visa processing time is at least 5 days and the embassy is closed fridays. So ideally I would submit my passport for the Bangladeshi visa no later than this Wednesday. Could I go to immigration tomorrow - 2 days early - to get the two-month stamp?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring whether they can go to immigration in Thailand two days earlier than their scheduled date to obtain an extension on their non-Immigrant B visa, due to a pending work trip that requires a Bangladeshi visa. A community member suggested that while protocols typically require adherence to the specified date, there may be some flexibility if valid reasons are presented.

Usually you have to go back on the date stipulated. However officers have been known to be flexible if there are mitigating circumstances. No guarantee, but you can only try and see if they’re willing to do it earlier. Take all proof of why you need it done and see if they’ll accept.
