I just went today to Chaeng watthana to apply for an emergency 60 day extension to my Non-Imm O (volunteer) visa, which expires 04 January. They told me I was too early and I needed to come back the last week of December. Anyone else apply for the extension more than a week before their experation? I was told previously by two different visa officers at that office that I could apply for the extension any time so I’m a little nervous that when I go to get the extension at the end of December they’re going to tell me something different again.

Hi Tod Daniels, I need to go and cancel my non-b visa extension and I was hoping you’d know where I need to go for that? Can I still go to Chaengwattana or is it now at Muang Thong Thani?

Also, I’m wanting to go and apply for that emergency extension visa and want to know how far in advance I can go to apply for it? My visa will expire April 30th.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I searched the group but couldn’t find anything. I need to do an emergency extension with a letter from the consulate. I am from USA. What do I need to bring and where can I get the letter from?

Hi, I am hoping for some clarity here.

We are on Koh Tao and luckily immigration is coming to us on the 7th. We have all our required documents for the emergency extension.

Here is my question. My wife and I have a 6 Month Multiple Entry Visa that expires on June 22. Our initial stamp expired on March 14, and we received a normal 30 day extension on the stamp for April 14. While we have all the documents we need for an emergency extension stamp, I am wondering if there is something else I should be submitting to possibly get another regular 60 day stamp. We have a valid visa, all we are missing is the quick border bounce, which is not possible. In my mind it would make sense to do another 60 day stamp since it is within our visa. However what I believe makes sense and reality sometimes do not collide. So given our current visa, is there something else I should prepare for, or is the emergency 30 day extension my only option short of leaving the country?

Thanks

Heads up to anyone that wants to do an emergency extension based on using your letter from the embassy regarding covid-19 at Nonthaburi immigration.

I was just at Nonthaburi immigration with all required documents (Tm30, Tm7, copy of visa etc) **on top of that, now they want you to supply pictures of you in all of the rooms in your house e.g living room, bedroom etc. They also require pictures of you in front of your room showing room number and in front of your condo/apartment etc showing name of condo and street number. They also want a map printed out of where you live.

As far and as well as I could understand what he explained, This is only for the extension based on being unable to travel due to covid-19 using your embassy letter.

I entered Thailand on a French passport, but my permanent address is in England. Which embassy should issue my emergency extention letter?

Thank you 🙏💖

Hello all and I hope all of you are safe. I hold a Non B visa and work permit but both of them expires on 30th April. I’ve resigned my job, so there is no way I can renew it. At the same time I can’t fly out of Thailand on 30th as my flights have been cancelled to my next destination. As per rule I’ve got to know that I need a letter from my embassy to extend my stay. But I’m confused about few things and please help me to clear those points out

1- How many days prior of my visa expiry, I can apply for this emergency extension ?

2- If I apply emergency extension one or two weeks before my non b expiry, then the date of the emergency visa starts from 30th April ( my non b expiry date ) or the day I apply the emergency extension

3- Do I have to cancel my work permit and existing Non B extension before I apply for this emergency extension?

Please help me with the answer and thank you all.

I stay in Nonthaburi and used to go to Nonthaburi immigration office for extensions.

For the emergency extension using the embassy letter do I go back to Nonthaburi immigration or do I have to go to Muang Thong Thani (both of which are in Nonthaburi)?

I just successfully used the emergency extension letter from the British embassy at Korat immigration.

I printed the letter and the email from the FCO as advised here and they were happy with that. So thanks for the advice.

Got the under consideration stamp and have to go back in two weeks.

They did say that if the situation carries on for an extended amount of time I can just get another letter from the embassy and use it again.
