ORIGINAL POSTER

I've got my second stamp today - for the 60 day visa extension, but it seems it's not considered from when my current stamp runs out (30th of Nov), but from the day I submitted the documents and got the first "under consideration stamp" (18th of the month). I went to the Phuket office. I'm curios what experience others have had with this. Thanks!

this time they are extending it for 60 days, so it will be 17th of January. But normally when they make these extensions they count from the date of the expiry of the current stamp. I'm wondering how they did it in other offices

Remus Hosu. Looks like they made a mistake, although they can field that as their announcement said "up to 60 days", but it seems most people have been getting the correct amount. Extensions normally run from the date of the previous extension/visa expiry.

yes, that's why I'm curious what experiences others have had. I only know the situation for a friend from here, and another lady from the group, who got the same calculation.

Does a tourist visa extension in Thailand start from the expiration date or the application date?
