Just arrived back to Thailand from KL. In July 4. They stamped me in to Aug 2. Which is fine I will be out on Aug 1. But isn't that 29 days?

Hello.

We are going to Bangkok for surgery for my third child. Getting Thai visas for the children is complicated as we live in Mexico and the kids were born in Thailand and a different country in Latin America, and currently the kids born in Thailand do not have residency here.

I know adults need visas, no problem there, but do the kids (the oldest is 6) need visas?

I have heard that children under 14 are not fined for overstay, but will receive "overstay" stickers in their passport that will complicate coming back.

Thank you for your time.

ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS;

APRIL HOLIDAY CLOSURES

# ALL Immigration offices in the country will be closed;

Monday April 8th

Friday April 12th

Monday April 15th

Tuesday April 16th

If you have a stamp that expires on a day the immigration office is closed (weekend or holiday) AND you go the very next business day they're open you can get your extension like normal, not be fined for overstay. You WILL get an overstay stamp in your passport but it will say (overstay xxx days fine waived due to holiday)

BORDERS ARE OPEN LIKE NORMAL

KIDS UNDER 15 NO NEED EXTENSIONS?

Hi again people,

Now I have heard from various people that there’s no use to make any extensions for kids under 15 years old because they dont get fine for overstay. Have anyone had the experience before?

Have a nice day🙏

Hi everyone, I have some questions about the visa that hopefully you can help me.

Basically, I’m currently working in Nakhon Si Thammarat with Non-Immigrant B Visa and my contract will finish on 20th May.

I’ll start a new job in Bangkok on 23th May and I have some questions about the new Non-B visa application.

So by the time my visa and work permit is canceled on 20th May

1. How many days of “extension” the immigration office normally gives? I think it’s 7 but I would like to be sure.

2. After my Non-Immigrant B get cancel, can I apply for the new Non-Immigrant B being in Thailand? In that case, I have to apply for a new visa or there is an option to transfer my current the visa?

3. To apply for the new Non-Immigrant B Visa, I have to apply 15 days before? I read that but I’m not sure because as far as I know you can not apply for a new visa if you still have one .

4. In the hypothetical situation that my documents are not ready by 23th May and I have to overstay in Thailand. It’s possible to apply for Non-Immigrant B in the overstay situation? Or in this case do I have to apply first for tourist visa?

5. Are they still giving COVID visa?

6. Normally people will apply 1st for Non-Immigrant B Visa and after that for Work Permit, right?

Thanks

I have a retirement visa. My next renewal date is October 2. How early or late can I renew? TIA

Complicated question. My daughter and I have dual citizenship (south Africa and Israeli). Our visa is in our south African passport. She is a student and I am her guardian.

1. My daughter's south African passport expires in April 2022

2. Embassy said it can take up to 1 year to get a new one.

3. I want to move our visas to our Israeli passports (more reliable)

4. QUESTION- How do I do this from within Thailand? Any way to do it without leaving the country?

Need creative ideas.

Thanks 🙏

Just to confirm --

(1) even though I got our SETVs for the entire family by myself, in order to do 30 day extension at Chiang Mai immigration, the entire family needs to go, correct?

(1a) My understanding is that the 30 day SETV extension is a short wait at immigration - so short that I could take the kids in at 3:30 on a Friday and potentially still be seen that afternoon?

(2) regarding overstays for children, after the expiry of our SETV, we have a few trips planned where we'll return on exemption stamps and, if we decide to stay longer, will look at an ED visa. Am I reading correctly here that many people let their children overstay, and I would neither need to ensure that we all left for runs to get new exemption stamps nor would I need to worry about finding an ED visa that would also process O visas for the kids? I'd obviously rather do it proper, but if I could justify a few kid-free vacations to get fresh stamps, I'd rather do that :p

Thanks!
