I have been living in Thailand on a NON-O marriage visa, that expired when I returned to UK for a 3 week holiday with my thai wife. I didn't renew Non-O as I didn't have 400k baht in thai bank account at that time. What are the chances of me having problems entering BKK with a visa exempt on my return?

Please how much for a visa renewal when it is expired and also do I need an agent for it?

Hello kha 👏 asking for my friend. She suppose to come back last December but some documents from her work in Thailand were asked in her country to allow her to come back. She asked friends in Thailand to help her complete what she needs but Thailand Embassy in Bangkok said only the owner of where she's working should do the process .What can she do about this expired single entry ka?Sorry I don't really understand about it.Thank you kha 👏

My Visa expired the 14th of January and I thought it was the 14th of February. So what will be the procedure now please?

Is there any problem (fine) with filing 90-days late by 10 days? Thx.

Us citizen here, I have an expired visa, and am currently staying is NST. How do I get an extension on my 30 day stamp?

My daughter quit the middle school in Bangkok and left Thailand on May 2021, her extension of stay also expired on May 2021. This year she was enrolled by the same school and came back to Thailand with 90 day ED visa, now its time for applying extension of stay. I heard she need to cancel her previous extension of stay and then apply for new extension of stay, is it true? School office doesn't know this requirement. Thanks.

Anyone else having trouble making an appointment to go back to close the "under consideration" loop for a visa that expired on January 29? If I put in Jan 29 as visa expiration date when I go to select a pickup appointment date it wont give me the February calendar and I can't type in. If I first select an appointment for Feb 9th (my stamp is for the 8th so assume I can go a day later) when I go to put in the visa expiration date as Jan 29 it deletes my appointment date and I'm back to square one. Is K counter crowded these days? Should I just show up?

This is a report back on my previous query of "if the newest 60-day covid extension also apply for PE visa holders?" on Jan 18 under Somchai man's post.

Note that my PE visa (Easy Access) has expired and I am currently on my 6th (last) year, which also due to expire soon. Original plan (one of my options) was to get a Non-O and extend based on retirement, then came Covid.

Went to CW today to ask if I could cancel my PE visa (remaining days since stamp-in) and get the 60 day covid extension, and whether I can then apply for (convert to) Non O under covid extension. IO told me they have never cancelled a PE visa before, and that I will not be able to apply for (convert to) Non-O within the country under covid extension.

There has been small hiccup on the expiry of my PE visa and the one year stamp-in after the visa expiry, IO went around to ask other IO, and eventually all is good. I applied for extension of stay based on covid and get an "under consideration stamp" and asked to return on a date (happens to be the same date as my permit-to-stay-till stamp). Wonder what would happen if the application for extension is denied? Got to leave right away?
