How long will depend entirely on the embassy or consulate you are applying at. Some turn around in 3-5 days. Some 10-15. Others more.

Depends on your son’s nationality as to whether he needs a tourist visa or can enter visa exempt. If the latter then there is no reason for the former. Both give 60 days on entry.

Absolutely not. Kiwis can come visa exempt and get many visas in country or for the DTV they can go to a nearby country and apply there for a fraction of what NZ charges.

I have no idea why NZ changed their pricing when they switched to the evisa system, but it could be that they don’t want to process any visas and just want to go surfing.

@Evan *******

Each embassy/consulate sets it own price point. Yes it’s supposed to be the sort of equivalent to 10k but because exchange rates fluctuate they may price it slightly different. NZ is just an anomaly. It charges 4-5x more than any other embassy on earth.

Try NZ. 38,000 baht to get one there.

This notice is usually stapled in your passport when you make your first long term extension off a visa. It’s only there to make you aware of when your report is due. It’s not needed, just a reminder.

They won’t put anything in your passport on arrival. You have to add 89 days to your entry date to work out your report date.

You can file 2 weeks prior up to 1 week later in person.

You will need :-

A blue pen (some offices are pedantic about blue)

Your passport

Fill out form TM7 (available at the office)

Copy passport data page (signed by you)

Copy of entry stamp (signed by you)

Copy of your visa - either the sticker in your passport or pdf evisa (the former signed by you). * if you had one.

Passport photo (most offices have facilities on site or nearby)

1,900 baht

Go to your local immigration office and extend. The cost is 1,900 baht. If you don’t then IF you get to the airport then you’ll be charged 1,500 for a 3 day overstay.

Some would question why pay 1,900 baht rather than 1,500 baht. But here goes.

An overstay stamp in your passport is rarely ever a consideration for coming back to Thailand. However other countries may see it as an issue if you apply for a visa for theirs.

If you were to be stopped by a police checkpoint whilst on overstay then a whole can of worms can open up including deportation and a ban from coming back to Thailand.

The latter would rarely happen. But it could.

Never plan to overstay. Get the extension and cover your ass. It’s just not worth the potential problems you could have if you don’t.

If you have the DTV sticker in your old passport you just carry both for the next 5 years.

If you have a PDF visa from the evisa site you can probably get away with a photocopy of the old passport with a print of the DTV.

Not really too sure what you’re asking here.

If you have a (single) re-entry permit then you can leave and come back and you’ll get the same date you’re already stamped for.

If you don’t have a re-entry permit you need to visit an immigration office to get one or get one at the airport just before you fly out.

You don’t need any documents from Thailand to apply in the UK. You can’t apply based on marriage and you can’t apply based on Thai family as your daughter is too old, but as you are over 50 you can apply based on that.

Check the London embassy website for specific requirements.
