How can I adjust the date for my annual O married visa renewal to allow for travel in June?

okay, no matter how EARLY you apply for a new yearly extension (some offices you can do it when you have 30 days or less left on your current stamp, some offices you can do it when you have 45 days or less left on your current stamp) it does not change the expiration date of the NEXT yearly extension EVEN if you get an under consideration stamp.

I just saw a person get an under consideration stamp that was almost 2 months out <- that was because the person applied for their year extension 30 days before their current extension expired and then they got the 30 day under consideration stamp (which is the first month of your next year)

He doesn't go back to the office to get the year inked in for 2 months now.. 😮BUT it didn't move his expiration date of his extension at all.

@Antonino *****

looks like you have three options

1 - do what Ellie suggested; tell them you will be traveling when you apply for the next extension and ask if they can give you a 2 month under consideration stamp. <- Now this won't move your renewal date at all just mean you don't come back in 30 days to get the extension. So next year you're back in the same situation. 😕

2 - do what David suggested; (which to me is the best option 🙂 ) ask if you can take the 60 day visit thai family extension <- this WILL move the renewal date two months out from now on.

3 - do what I suggested; ask if you can get an extension of less than a year <- sketchy at best 😕

I think the 60 day visit thai family extension, tagged on to the end of this current extension you have giving you 2 more months before you have to apply for the year is the way to go as it moves the renewal date for your yearly extension application

Thanx

อร์ for bringing that up (y) (y)

If your travel plan in June is only this year's thing,

Bring your detailed itinerary along with other documents when you go to the immigration office to apply for the next 1-year extension. And ask the officer to arrange the under-consideration period so you can travel during those days. Sometimes (but not always) the officer can give you a longer u/c period and arrange the schedule of home visits while you are in Thailand. No downside to asking.

You need to talk about it before you apply for an extension, not after the application is accepted and you get the u/c stamp.

You can start the process 30 days before, and up to 45 days before at some immigration offices.

As a rule, there is no way to move the date forward or (backward). ..

What you can do (which may or may not be successful) is THIS time when you apply for an extension tell them you only want 10 months (not the year) and see IF they will short change you on the next yearly extension by two months. The rule for extension says they can be granted for no MORE than a year at a time, (nothing in the rules about getting one shorter). I have seen this work ONE time only so there's no great track record if it working

AND

most of the time the officer just says "to move the date leave without a re-entry permit" cancelling the extension you have and then come back and start ALL over from scratch with the 90 day Non-O and new year extension
