wouldn't have the slightest idea how the immigration office would deal with 180 day extension of a "trailing spouse" DTV and I would indeed imagine that the primary DTV holder would need to get the extension at the same time

BUT

as I said, don't have any idea, so few people actually apply for extensions on DTV's that there's very little hard data out there

Most people just bounce out/back to get a new 180 day entry stamp

nope, at immigration offices; you pay face value, and you have the copies, the photo and the TM8 application form filled out 🙂

yep, both single and multiple re-entry permits are available at Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang airports and the booths are open

You can have the required copies, form, photo, and pay "face value" of 3800baht for the multiple re-entry permit or you can pay 4000baht and provide nothing but your passport 🙂

a Non-O visa (no matter what the reason it was issued for) does not require medical insurance to get an extension inside the country

This is now just an FYI post, and commenting is closed.

As I said it is all we really know right now.

hundreds and hundreds of people have, in the US you apply online thru the thai consulate based on the state you live in

I've got half a dozen messages from people who showed up at their immigration office this morning only to find it was closed 😮

I am doubtful you're here on any visa (that you bought from a thai consulate before you winged your way here) and it's far more likely you just showed up and got stamped in free for 60 days on the visa exempt entry program. 🙂

Be that as it may

If your stamp runs out on a day the immigration office is closed (weekends or holidays) and you go the very next day the office is open (in this case Monday Dec 8th) you can get your extension like normal for the 1900baht, will not be charged for overstay but you will get an overstay stamp in your passport that says "overstay xxx days fine waived due to closure"

Just a tip, there's no need to run your stamp down to the end to get an extension, most offices (other than Jomtien/Samui) allow you to apply for an extension when you have 30 days or less left on your current stamp and you don't lose any days applying early as the extension is added to your current expiration date

that's what is posted on the e Visa website, and that's what they request, so that's what you provide
