ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS:

IMMIGRATION OFFICE CLOSURE FOR SONGKRAN

Remember people all immigration offices in the country close at 4:30PM today (Friday the 11th) and will not re-open until 8:30AM Thursday the 17th

If you have a stamp that expires on a day the immigration office is closed (weekends or holidays) and you go the very next day the immigration office is open you can get your extension like normal (you will get an overstay stamp in your passport but will not be fined)

I would hazard a guess and say that ALL offices in the country will be mobbed with people next Thursday when they re-open and if you don't have to go, DON'T..

Borders are open like usual, they don't close for holidays

Have a Safe & Happy Songkran everyone !!

If you need to do anything at immigration, you better go now or tomorrow!!

It's going to be packed this Wednesday and Tuesday next week as those are both days straddling a 5 day closure of immigration.

Immigration is closed Thursday, Friday and Monday the 13th, 14th and 17th for Songkran!

Take this as your warning/reminder!!

2nd extension of stay.

The 1st extension of stay from my non-O visa will expire on 1 May 2023. My next 90-day report is due on 26 February 2023.

I'm planning a trip out of Thailand from February to March. I'm in Chiang Mai and I have a UK passport.

What is the earliest date I could do the 90-day report and get the re-entry permit to leave in February?

Should I apply for my second extension of stay before or after the Songkran holiday when I return at the end of March / beginning of April?

Thank you.

**ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS:

SONGKRAN HOLIDAY CLOSURE**

Today is the last day ALL Immigration offices in thailand are open.

They will close at 4:30PM and not re-open until Monday the 18th.

IF you have a stamp that is expiring on a day the immigration office is closed (weekendz/holidayz)

AND

you go the very next day they're open you can apply for your extension like normal.

You will not be charged for overstay. You will however get an overstay stamp in your passport (it will say overstay fine waived due to holiday)
