@Ron ******

thank you

@Brandon ***********

you have been great information, i'm just unsure why the pattaya service agent, is saying chonburi will not grant me an extension anymore, and that i should look to go to bangkok for the extenion, but he has little faith that they will grant me an extension now due to going alone, but if i used his service then i would of been granted it.. very odd

then with immigration today suggesting i go back on 30th, 1 day before extension.. makes me paranoid thinking they will drive me to bangkok airport and make sure i get on a flight

@John *********

yeah last 2 times i did them in pattaya was the final 3-5 days of the visa. this time i wanted it done early, so i can put my mind at rest, due to bangkok airport making me fill in a statement form asking which day i will leave and what flight i am on

yes understood and agree, she stated i will need to correct visa next time, but yeah all i wanted today was a 7 day extension.. just so i can catch my flight which is AFTER my visa expires, but got told to return the day before it expires, so maybe if i go the final week and see what happens. if they deny the 30 days i get a 7 day stamp protocol?

@John *********

this would be my third extension, I have not currently had the extension this entry no. I tried today, and they turned me away and said come back 30th, with my visa due to expire 31st

I have a flight ticket booked and shown to them, but today they did not grant me an extension.

(Not had one this third trip in 6 month)

the only thing, the reception did not file it on the app? because the app was down, but she give me the paperwork and all signatured and signed, but said on the app was down, if this had something to do with it maybe?

@Brandon ***********

yes had proof of the TM30, they give me a receipt of notification too, and tell me to photocopy this, and then go see the front desk, upon that she then says go back the day before, just makes me paranoid they want me to go back 1 day before. and i was speaking with a pattaya visa agent who says visa exemption is only allowed to be extended 2 times per calender year - visa agent reply this "you have tried to enter the country too many times the rules say twice on Visa exemption in a 12 month period first of January to the 31st December how do you come and see me I could’ve got you a guaranteed re-entry at the border this is not easy to deal with in Pattaya "

@Brandon ***********

I thought you can extend with 2 weeks or so prior?

I just don’t understand why they wanted to call my condo?

And request I go back the day my condo expires… and the day before my visa expires

This will be the third extension. By law it says only 2 extensions allowed.

Just hoping for 7 day extension

@Michael *******

that is wild 🙃🤔
