Where as if you're getting an extension on a REAL tourist visa entry (TR60) <- meaning you bought a tourist visa from a thai consulate before you showed up here, you go to the main immigration office at the government complex (Building B) at Chaengwattana Road

In Bangkok if you're getting a 30 day extension on a 60 day visa exempt/free stamp (ผ.60.ม17) you go to the satellite Immigration office that is at IT Square Laksi Plaza

the real question

@Annina ******

is

Did you BUY a tourist visa from a thai consulate outside thailand before you came here and does your current entry stamp say TR60

OR

Did you just show up here and get stamped in for free on a 60 day visa exempt and your current entry stamp says (ผ.60-ม.17)

That is what controls where you go in Bangkok for your extension

best of luck with it, (y)

That is a subject for discussion 😛

I would say you can file online using the web-portal from 2 weeks before the due date down until 1 week before the due date.

That means you have a one week window to apply online.

The old rules used to be from 2 weeks before right on down to the due date, but we have reports of people who were denied reporting outside the time I quoted earlier.

@Gad ******

if it's going to be after your Non-O extension expires and you have time get the 90 day Non-O visa from the thai consulate online before you come back, then you'll get 90 days when you enter and just have to go for the extension 2 months later 🙂

Cuts a few steps out of the "show up free stamp and start from zero" process

This is the fool proof way to tell IF when you got a new extension your 90 day reporting was reset

Ask yourself

"When I got my new extension did I also get a new 90 day reporting receipt showing a new report date?"

If that answer is NO you did not get a new 90 day report receipt with a new reporting date then your 90 days WAS NOT "reset" 😮 😕 and you report at the time your current receipt tells you to

Whereas

If that answer is YES and you did get a new 90 day report receipt with a new reporting date then your 90 days WAS "reset" 😮 🙂 and you follow that date now for your next report

You should be able to leave the day after you arrive here with both passports and then when you get back you'll get stamped in again on the new passport.

After that you'd take the two passports to your immigration office and get the stamps transferred

I have never heard of a case where someone comes in and then leaves the very next day so I'm just saying that as far as I know there is nothing in the rules that would prohibit you from doing it

You apply for the DTV thru the thai consulate that serves the area where you stay in Vietnam (doesn't matter where you arrive it matters where you are in Vietnam when you apply for the visa)

The eVisa online system will give you a pop-up when you select you're in Vietnam and it will show the break down of who applies at what consulate

If you're in Da Nang you apply thru HCMC so you will be fine

No matter what your office is telling you there is no 3 month seasoning before you apply for the year extension

@Gary ********

😕

So, one more time for the record, the official seasoning for banked money method for a retirement extension is 2 months before you apply for the extension,

this is a rip from the translation of the police order concerning banked money method for retirement extensions
