IMMIGRATION OFFICE CLOSURES May 2024

Immigration offices nationwide will be closed on:

**Monday 6 May: Substitute for Royal Coronation Day

Friday 10 May: Royal Ploughing Ceremony Day

Wednesday 22 May: Visakha Bucha**

Plan accordingly.

* Land borders are open like normal during holidays.

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".

TLDR : Answer Summary

In May 2024, immigration offices in Thailand will be closed on specific holidays: May 6 for Royal Coronation Day, May 10 for the Royal Ploughing Ceremony, and May 22 for Visakha Bucha. During these closures, land borders remain open. If a visa stamp expires on a holiday, visiting the immigration office the next working day will not incur an overstay fine, but a notice will be added to the passport indicating a waived fine due to the holiday.
