What are the implications of the September 30 deadline for STV holders in Thailand regarding extensions?

I'm closing comments. *NOBODY* knows how the "last" STV stamp would be implemented at the immigration offices. I am certain anyone on an STV can stay until September 30. After that, who knows :(

You'll find out when everyone else finds out.

all you can do is ASK the immigration officer when you go for your 90 day extension. There's no one on here who can give you definite answers to those questions.

Good luck with it

So I'm guessing your current stamp expires July 22? So your next stamp will expire October 20. As the last date for extension is September 30, that is only 20 days before your expiry, so you can go to immigration to apply. Whether they give you the final 90 days from September 30, which will take you to December 29, or whatever they'll tack the 90 onto your stamp, which will take you to January 19, I think will depend on what side of the bed the IO got out of the day you attend immigration. It's impossible to say as there appear to be no hard and fast rules relating to the STV, but I think you'll be right up to December 29

which immigration office are you using?

You can stay after Sept 30 with stv, but you can't extend. If you are within the extention timeframe by Sept 30 (varies by office 45 to 7 days), you can extend.

The best answer is "we don't know".

>Will the added the September deadline for STV apply to people like me seeking for extensions only?

"We don't know". However, I know you *CAN* stay no later then September 30. What happens after September 30th, we don't know

>Can I apply for an early (2nd) renewal before Sept. 30th?

At most immigration offices, you can apply no sooner then 30 days before your existing stamp expires. Some allow 45 days though.

>Is there any responsive email address to the immigration or some authorities that I can send to about these visa related queries?

No, each immigration office is managed separately. *Some* immigration offices have Facebook pages/ e-mal addresses, web pages, foreign speaking volunteers, etc. Type in "Immigration office [city name here]" and ask them.
