Hi everyone! I am a dual Thai and American national and recently entered thailand on my expired thai passport. Unfortunately i cannot renew my passport until October (as I have been living abroad for so long, I need to make my first thai ID card in order to renew my passport which requires my mom to come over from the US and just takes time in general).

So I am stuck in Thailand for a few months longer than I initially planned and was hoping to do some traveling to some of the islands like Koh Samui etc while I’m here. I was wondering if I could use my current US passport to fly within the country? I didn’t enter thailand on my US passport so i dont know if i can use it to travel within Thailand.

Thanks so much for everyone’s help!

Few people advised to ask the officers at the immigration office if you can get another covid extension or not BEFORE paying the money. Who shall i ask, the guy at the front desk collecting the papers and checking them, or the ladies who collect the money and process the documents? Thanks!

Does anyone know if immigration is open next week Saturday? Unfortunately I can’t do it this week saturday but not sure if it will be open Saturday next week.

Hi folks, a little advice if you may:

1. I have a METV Tourist VISA - expires Aug 12th 2020

2. Current entry stamp says May 12th 2020, but is "in amnesty" until July 31st

Question:

1. Can I get married under my current VISA / stamp / amnesty situation?

2. If no. Can I get the necesssary VISA without leaving Thai soil?

Many thanks in advance. Luke

Hello Everyone,

Wish you all a terrific 2019.

I'm a digital nomad from India staying in Chiang Mai(CM) for sometime now. My wife came to visit me on a "VISA on Arrival(VOA)" on 22 December 2018, and got an exit stamp of 5 January 2019 but wishes to stay until 19 January 2019.

I've heard of CM's Visa Extensions and Border Runs and have few options/Qs that I'm contemplating and need your advise on:

Option A: She does a Border Run.

Q1) Would Mae Sai – Tachileik, Myanmar be the most convenient border run? further...Would calling the Myanmar checkpost beforehand at Mae Sai be a good option.

Option B: She does a Visa extension at the CM Immigration office?

Q1) How many days of an extension can she get?

Q2) if She gets a 7 day extension(which is what I've heard for Indians, then can Border Run be chosen thereafter(or will border run be entertained by Thai officials at the Mae Sai border?)

Option C) She catches the flight back to India(Kolkata airport), and comes back to Chiang Mai- the most inconvenient option.

I'd love to hear from your experiences and spread this info into my circle.

Thanks for your reading and help.

Does anyone have a copy of the letter (given to British passport holders when they get a new passport) to take to Thai immigration to have your stamps transferred to the new Passport ??
