Monday May 4th
Wednesday May 13th
Entry/Exit points to the country (airports/land crossings) do NOT close during holidays
Also if you have a stamp that expires the day that immigrations is closed (weekends or holidays) and you go the next day they're open you can get your extension like normal and not be fined for overstay (you will get an overstay stamp in your passport though). ..
I understand patience is a virtue and I’m being quite irrational here, due to Christmas close down - but it’s bloody cold in the UK..
I applied for the workation DTV to the London embassy 8:00am on the 24th Dec (I imagine this would be skeleton staff and not counted as a day) would I be correct in thinking that Dec 29th, 30th and Jan 2nd could count towards a possible 14 day process or should I tell myself that it all starts from tomorrow (5th January)
I am departing to Thailand in March, so I also understand this might push me to the back of the queue.
ALL immigration offices in thailand will be closed the following days
Thursday 10th July
Friday 11th July
Monday 28th July
remember if your stamp expires on a day the immigration office is closed (weekends or holidays) and you go the very next day they're open you can get your extension like normal and will not be charged for overstay
Is there a place to find info on holiday closures and how that affects 90 day reporting, my first 90 day report date is April 14th so I'm worried about immigration closure dates
# 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)
A reminder that next Monday February 26th is a public holiday and all immigration offices around the country will be closed.
If your entry stamp falls due on the 24th, 25th or 26th then go get your extension before then. If you don’t you’ll be joining the hordes of people going on Tuesday 27th. Many immigration offices will be super busy because of the 3 day closure. You won’t get a fine because the offices were closed but you’ll still get a stamp (in Thai) that says “overstay X days. Fine waived due to closure”.
Land borders and airports are not affected by public holidays.

* Land borders are open like normal during holidays.
* Myanmar borders are not open yet for foreigners.
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".
