Visited Phu Nam Ron/Myanmar for a 'bonus' 90 days of a Non-Imm 'O' to find it expired the previous day, was foolishly working on the date of the entry stamp!?! They gave me 30 days, I need a further 30 days before I return to the UK. I'm not sure if I can do a 'visa bounce' at this border crossing or what other convenient 30 day solutions are available other than getting on a plane? I have no 30-day/Tourist stamps other than this one. Any advice is appreciated.

Answer summary

The user is seeking advice on obtaining an additional 30 days in Thailand after their Non-Immigrant 'O' visa expired. They mistakenly worked off the entry stamp date, resulting in a situation where they've only received a 30-day visa upon re-entry from Myanmar. Commenters advised that a 30-day extension could be applied for at an immigration office for 1900 baht, and highlighted the common confusion regarding the visa dates.

I know. Im just trying to conserve . I plan to get one next year. There isn’t much to a British passport. 48 pages. And even then they aren’t all for visas.

You aren't the first person to confuse the "admitted until" date with the "enter before" date on a visa :(

You can go to the immigration office and apply for a 30 day extension on that 30 day visa exempt entry for 1900baht.

you don't need to border-bounce again. Just get the 30 day extension instead.
