ALL immigration offices in the country will be closed the following days
Monday Oct 13th
Thursday Oct 23rd
If you have a stamp expiring on a day the immigration office is closed (weekends or holidays) and you go the next day they are open you can get your extension like normal, will not be charged for overstay (you will get an overstay stamp but it will say fine waived).
Points of entry/exit to thailand do not close for holidays
I have recently been told that an 11 year old American who entered a little over a year ago on a tourist visa will be expedited and blacklisted for 1-5 years. I thought there was an exception for those under 15. Is that the case? Thanks for the support!
Remember people all immigration offices in the country close at 4:30PM today (Friday the 11th) and will not re-open until 8:30AM Thursday the 17th
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 the immigration office is open you can get your extension like normal (you will get an overstay stamp in your passport but will not be fined)
I would hazard a guess and say that ALL offices in the country will be mobbed with people next Thursday when they re-open and if you don't have to go, DON'T..
Borders are open like usual, they don't close for holidays
I am currently on a tourist visa that has an end date of Oct. 24. Is it okay to leave Thailand on the 24th or do I need to leave on the 23rd to not have an overstay?
Hello, my visa extension is due to expire later this month. Unfortunately I may need surgery and likley aftercare that would cause me to overstay. Am I able to visit an immigration office with documentation confirming this prior to the overstay? Or would I just present this when I actually leave Thailand?
* 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".
