Hello, I entered Thailand on 6 September 2024 with French passport on a METV 6 month visa valid from 21 august 2024 - 16 February 2025. I did one 30 day visa extension just before the first 60 day deadline and then left the country twice on holiday. My latest entry stamp received at BKK airport now shows "admitted 13 January 2025 until 13 march 2025."

Should I want to stay the maximum amount of time that I can get out of this 6 month visa, must I leave the country before 16 February as shown on original visa or can I leave just prior to the latest stamp showing "until 13 march" giving me 60 more days? Could I also ask for 30 day extension just before the 13 march?

Thank you to clarify this for me.

Hi all,

Been over two years since I left.

Originally entered on a TR visa (1/1/2020)

with a UK passport.

Stayed on covid extensions (until they stopped issuing them).

I remember on covid extensions you would loose days if you applied earlier than your expiry date on the extension stamp.

I cannot remember if that’s the case for ordinary extensions at immigration?

(60 days on arrival, TR visas etc).

Thanks in advance.

Hi members, can you go to any immigration office for a Re-entry permit and do you need an appointment?

Hi, my son’s 30 day stamp expires 12th of august - it’s a public holiday. He needs to get 30 days more extension because he’s flying back to US 24th august. I wonder if they’ll give him 30 days more on 13th if his previous stamp expired already or does he have time fly out ?

In case it helps anyone. Samut Prakan immigration (which is now located in the newly rennovated Pak Nam office) accepts the following documents for 60 day extension based on marriage/family.

Copies of the following all signed and notorised:

- marriage certificate (in case of wife)

- birth certificate (in case of dependant/child)

- tambien baan of wife/dependant

- ID card of wife/dependant

- all passport pages with ID and stamps

-TM 30 Receipt of notification copy (make sure it's date-stamped from when you last entered the country, they flagged this with me and I got a telling off for not reporting 24 hours within entering the country)

-1900 baht

-wife/child in person as they want to take pictures of you as a couple/family

-passport photo for one of the three forms you have to fill out

Not needed contrary to other reports/offices:

* Kor ror 22, you don't need any copy of this, whether it is old or newly updated.

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

Can a non-OA immigrant visa obtained in my home country only be extended for 1 year while in Thailand or can you keep getting extensions?

Also, can you purchase multiple entry?

I arrive Thailand 4th February staying until 23march I am from UK I know I can stay for 30 days without a visa but after that do I need to do a visa run eg Cambodia or can I get extension in Pattaya without leaving Thailand?

Question for the visa gurus please 🙏

how many times can you get your 30 day plus 90 day extension in any one year ?

If I border hop to LAO how long would I have to stay out of Thailand before I could come back in again

Non O Visa based on marriage:

Hi. Does anyone know how early I can apply for yearly extension and how long does it take to process? I'm based in Bangkok. Thanks
