ORIGINAL POSTER

ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS 

IMMIGRATION HOLIDAYZ MAY 

ALL IMMIGRATION OFFICES WILL BE CLOSED 

Monday May 5th 

Friday May 9th

Monday May 12th  

If you have a stamp that expires on a day the immigration office is closed (weekends or holidays) and you go the very next day they're open you can get your extension like normal and will not be fined for overstay (you will get an overstay stamp in your passport but it will say "fine waived holiday") 

Borders do not close for these holidays

TLDR : Answer Summary

All immigration offices in Thailand will be closed on May 5th, May 9th, and May 12th. If your visa stamp expires on one of these closure days, you can go to the immigration office the next day it reopens without incurring a fine for overstaying; you'll receive an overstay stamp indicating that the fine is waived due to the holiday. Additionally, borders will remain open during these holidays.

Thank you Tod. And this is a great way to have people go on holiday instead of them observing labourday.

. My calendar says May 1st is Labour day and public holiday and government offices closed. Maybe not immigration offices. ??
