Hi All, 

Quite simple question please :)

I've just gotten a non immigrant  visa for 3 months and I'm soon going to apply for the extension to 1 year, my actual visa expiration is May 2018, will my extended visa expire in February 2019 or May 2019? 

Thank You :)

TLDR : Answer Summary

The original visa expires in May 2018, and after applying for a 1-year extension, the new expiration date will be in May 2019, as the extension is added to the current expiration date.

It's an additional year you will get. I'm doing the same thing and putting in my application in March

the date on the visa where it states "enter before" is the expiration date and all that means is you have until that date to enter thailand and get stamped in for 90 days.

When you apply for your year extension they will add the year to your current admitted until expiration date.

Claudio Molone If you only got 1 month Admitted to Stay the Immigration Officer properly did not see the Visa. You can visit Immigration Office to get this corrected, it must be 90 days from entry where entry date is day number 1.

Then why did they give me only an Admitted to Stay period of a month if my visa is for 3 months?

Thanks

The visa is just an entry ticket. At Immigration on enter they gave you an Admitted to Stay period, in your case till 17 March 2018. If you like to stay longer you go to local Immigration with all the required documents and apply for an Extension of Stay for 1 year. This year will be added to your Admitted to stay period. So if approved it will be 17 March 2019.

My visa states "valid until 11 May 2018" but the stamp states "admitted until 17 March 2018" is it an issue?
