@Natalia *******
would have thought there would be standard 30 or 45 extension. Ah well this is Thailand 😋
Natalia ********
@Nick ******
it depends on the top hand written thingy on the stamp: w30 - extension 30 days, w45 - extension 45 days, ww with signature - non extendable, leave the country within your expiry date. Been talking with several immigration officers lately :)))Nick *******
@Natalia *******
What!? So can get a 45 day extension on top and not the 30 we’ve been told or have I misunderstood?
Billy *******
@Natalia *******
great clarification thanks.Natalia ********
@Virgile ***********
btw the hand written w45 on top means extendable for another 45 days at immigration. Just out with mine and an explanation from the border officer 🙂

still waiting🤔
