Per Thai immigration I live in a unique timeline (yes I know what the Thai says but still, I may have a case for an eternal multi entry)

hi today I applied for 1 year permission to stay. I got the under consideration stamp of course. Can I be certain that it will be approved? The reason for asking is that I have to return to immi the very day I would have to leave Thailand according to my arrival stamp!

Am I correct that my visa expires on March 6 and have leave before that?

I have a new UK passport and need to transfer my current permission to stay from my old to my new passport at Chiang Mai immigration.

If anyone has done this recently can you advise me if I have forgotten anything.

Photo page new and old passports.

Copy every page in old passport.

90 day report.

TM 30

Request form to transfer stamps provided by UK passport office with new the new passport.

Question, any financial information required like bank statement, passbook current balance photo etc.

Thank you

Process/timing question. On 30 November I applied at CM (airport office) to convert my 45 day tourist to a retirement/permission to stay. They folded up and stapled a blue form inside my PP (I believe it was an “under consideration” form) with instructions to return 23 December. I assume this is to receive my 90 day stamp? If all of the above is correct, my question is when can I go back (with all of the appropriate forms) and get the final stamp indicating I am now on a one year permission to stay? I have heard immediately as well as when I am within X days of the expiration of the 90 days. Thanks.

A question on re-entry permits as I have never needed one.

I assume that the re-entry permit also expire if your visa expires whilst outside of Thailand?

How far before my STV expires can I extend it?

Got this stamp and not realy sure about the process and deadlines.

I have a Non O Visa and already the first 3 month permission since November until 13.Feb.2021

Today wanted to extend for one year.

I understand today. The Immi will do appointment to visit me home and make a desicion. Therefore the new stamp from today in blue circle (but can't read the stamp at all).

And on 19.Feb. I should go there to get the result.

Problem is the timing with 19. and we told the officers. They say no problem you can come after number 19.Feb. and if I get stopped after 19. they can call my local immigration for clarification.

Now in wondering how long is my permission to stay at the moment? For me it look like until number 19.Feb.

Hi all, I am a new member and would be very grateful for any advice on the following scenario:

I have a 5 year Thailand Elite visa that expires in 10 days, but my one year permission to stay stamp does not expire until July 2020, when I last entered Thailand.

Ideally I don’t want to leave Thailand again until May, for when I already have a flight booked back to my native UK. I plan to rejoin Thailand Elite again at the end of this year when I am in funds.

A couple of days ago I got an email from TE that scuppers my plan to next leave Thailand in May; the email states I need to leave or renew when the visa expires, not when the stamp expires.

Before posting my question here I located previous Thai visa advice posts on this subject where there were inconclusive debates about which of the two dates determines by when a TE member has to leave in reality and whether TE is perhaps trying to get us to renew sooner than we have to.

I spoke to TE yesterday to collect my passport after a successful 90 day report and I put the matter to a senior member of their staff. I was told I could leave the country in May and that whether I not I will have a problem will depend on the particular immigration officer that happens to view my passport. I was hoping for more certainty.

Perhaps this informal answer from TE is the highest level of certainty I can get before I decide to either a)risk exposing a possible overstay in May or b) take an unwanted trip abroad now for a single entry tourist visa.

Does anyone have any direct or vicarious experience of leaving Thailand after their TE visa expired but before the permission to stay stamp expired?

Provided this all comes to the fore at the airport itself on travel day what is the worst that can happen do you think: a ฿20,000 fine, an airport delay while its being dealt with, and a 70 day overdraft stamp in passport that does not affect most future visa applications?

Quick update on my visit to HUA HIN IMMIGRATION yesterday for a 12 month permission to stay based on retirement.

They had a IO on the door to check through all paperwork PRIOR to presenting my documents for approval.

I had the required financial requirements in foreign currency supported by the usual bank letter which had the days conversion rate and total fund available. No issues.

NO COPIES were required for any of the documents, except bank book & passport.

The IO did fill out an additional form to stay over 90 days, which seemed a bit odd to me as I was applying for 365 days...

All forms presented at the desk. All hunky dory, pain free. 1900b lighter.

It took about 40 minutes from the time i sat with IO at the front desk to walking out the door.

It was busy so probably had an additional 45 minutes wait prior.

Maybe immigration are finally getting their act together.
