When have DTV Visa and to stay here in thailand, do we need to exit other country after 180days and come again 180days till your five years of visa gone?
ALL immigration offices in thailand will be closed the following days
Thursday 10th July
Friday 11th July
Monday 28th July
If your stamp expires on a day the immigration office is closed (weekends or holidays) and you go the very next day they're open you can get your extension like normal and will not be charged for overstay. But expect long lines.
My current (Elite) visa ends on June 2nd. I'm planning to leave to Vietnam that exact same day and start my DTV application from there. Just wanted a confirmation from the experts here that staying until that day (June 2) is not considered a one-day overstay. Thanks!
That is the only holiday in August for thai immigration offices (which are all inside thailand btw ;) )
Check the thai consulate you're going to use and see what their holiday schedule is BEFORE you slog over to one :)
Remember if your stamp expires on a day the immigration office is close (weekends or holidays) and you go the very next day they are open you can get your extension like normal and NOT be fined for overstay.
Currently, I'm on a 90-day Non-O visa that expires on July 22nd, this coming Monday, which coincidentally is also a public holiday from what I understand.
Back on June 10th, I applied for a 1-year extension at the Phuket immigration office. It's been 5 weeks now, and my visa application is still pending. (Under Consideration)
Today, my partner went to check on the status and was advised to bring my passport on Tuesday the 23rd for stamping, starting from the 22nd, which was my previous visa expiration date.
I have a question: when you submit documents for a Non-O 1-year visa extension and it's still under consideration, do you still risk overstaying, even though it's ultimately up to immigration to make the final decision whenever that may be?
My daughter arrived with a 30day Visa on Arrival. I went to extend it for another month. But immigration officer said because she’s under 15 years old not to worry about it. I asked 2 different guys and they both said the same thing. Anyone else came across this?
As you know, you have to submit a TM47 every 90 days. Has anyone been in a situation where they forgot to do this? My deadline was three days ago. There is a fee of 2kthb for failure to report. I wonder if they make me pay this at the airport?
There is also a mention that in case of arrest the penalty increases to 4kthb. Could there be a problem at the airport due to this? Is it better to report late and pay 2k or not report when I fly out in a month?
Edit.
You are all wrong. I was just at immigration. Unnecessarily. This 90-day reporting requirement only applies to long-term visas for a minimum of one year.
Apologies if this is obvious to many but better to check then fall fowl. If I enter visa exempt (From Australia), the 30 days starts on the date of the stamp in my passport on day of arrival and I have to leave on or before the 30th day? Booking flights and want it right. Thanks in advance.
Needing some advice. I am currently in Thailand on a VOA. My exit date is 2/2/2023. I have a flight to Cambodia on 2/2/2023 via Phuket to BKK at 11:55pm lol - layover in BKK for 5 hours and flying to Phnom Penh at 7am on the 3rd. Will this give me some trouble coming back into Thailand as I technically won’t be out of Thailand until the 3rd. I don’t want to have to pay for an extension for 24 hours. Any advice on what I should do? Should I rebook my flights?
