**ATTENTION MEMBERS

IMMIGRATION OFFICE CLOSURES December 2022 & January 2023**

Immigration offices throughout the country will be closed on:

Monday, Dec 5: King Bhumibol Birthday Commemoration Day

Monday, Dec 12: Substitution holiday for Constitution Day

Friday, Dec 30: Special holiday

Monday, Jan 2: Substitution holiday for New Year’s Day

Plan accordingly.

* Land borders are open like normal during holidays.

* Myanmar borders are not open yet for foreigners.

If you have a stamp that is expiring during holidays when the immigration offices are closed and you show up at the immigration office on the very next working day you will NOT be fined for overstay and can get your extension like normal. But you will get an overstay stamp in your passport that says; "overstay xxx days, fine waived due to holiday/closure".

Answer summary

This post provides important information about the closure dates of immigration offices in Thailand during December 2022 and January 2023 due to national holidays. It informs members that although immigration offices will be closed on specific dates, land borders will remain open. Additionally, it clarifies that individuals whose stamps expire during the closure can visit immigration the next working day without incurring a fine, although they will receive an overstay stamp in their passports.
