I am departing from Suvarnabhumi on the 7th January at 01:05 I will be checking in on the 6th of January my 60 day plus 30 day visa extension will finish on the 6th of January, my question is am I within my visa requirements or am I one day out and have to pay a penalty, thanks in advance
My friend got in a wreck a few months ago and was in the hospital he's close to 90 days overstay and is able to leave now but curious as to if the 1 year ban kicks in at day 89, day 90 or day 91 counting last day of visa and the last day in the country.
Hi. It seems now UK passport holders get a 60 day on arrival visa. If a visitor wishes to stay 62 days is it possible to extend the 60 days or will they need a 60 day tourist to extend? TIA
Hi all, so here's my situation...on September 14, which is a Sunday, my visa runs out. If I could get it extended on that day, all would be fine for my exit from Thailand on October 12. However, because it is a Sunday, I either have to get it extended on the Friday, and then be a day or 2 late when leaving the country or be 1 day late for the extension. My thoughts are it would be best to be a day late asking for an extension but would like to know what would happen either way as I don't want it marked on my passport if avoidable.
Just a heads up to people who signed up for those "year long ED visa/extensions" where you don't go to school. <- Those are the ED visas from visa mill schools and agents that get you the visa/extension for a fee..
The gov't made a change in the way private schools report attendance and many MANY people found out that because they didn't attend class (or even log in for the online learning from the school) their extension was cancelled by immigrations.
More than a few people found out about this AFTER they went to either apply for another year of an ED visa via an agent/agency, when they went to get documentation to cancel their extension from their school or when they went to exit the country.
It sure caught a lot of people off guard leaving the country when passport control at the airport told them that their extension had been cancelled MONTHS ago, they owed 20K baht in overstay fines AND (if their cancellation was done more than 90 days before they were also banned from thailand for a year :O )
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up. If you're on one of those year long ED visas thru a private school (or a private school running under a uni name) CHECK with your school that things are okay.
Last thing you want/need is to find out your ED visa/extension was cancelled without you knowing it and you're on overstay facing a possible ban of re-entering thailand
Since Thailand is talking again about changing their 60 day policy to 30 days , I’d end up doing a 30 + 30 day extension when travelling there later this year.
Are there any repercussions for overstaying by 1 or 2 days ?
Looking at flights and with my dates it’s a better deal to stay the 61 or 62 days.
Anyone else had problems with NCU (north Chiang Mai university)? I was on a year ED visa with them and was planning on getting on the DTV next.
Well upon asking for a visa cancellation letter to exit the country before the end of the ED visa, I learnt that my visa was cancelled over 3 months ago. Apparently they cancelled 1000 students visas at the time. Didn’t bother to inform anyone. This is totally absurd, but I find myself illegal now, and most likely blacklisted.
If you had similar experience or know somone, please contact me. And if your planning on taking classes with that school please don’t.
Question about visa exempt and extending for 30 days:
Me, a Dutch citizen, entered Thailand by air on visa exempt (60 days) over a month ago. Next week I want to request another extra 30 days.
1. This is done at Laksi IT, correct? Do I need to make an appointment?
2. I'm currently staying at a hotel, so I assume that I don't need to bring proof of TM30, correct?
3. Besides money, copy of passport pages and photo, what other forms should I bring along? Only the TM7 application form? Also the form that I acknowledge any overstay penalties?
