@Michael *****

did you ask the immigration office what they require?

@Michael *****

what non-o visa are you trying to acquire and what is your country of passport?

@Michael *****

For Chonburi, to acquire an extension of stay, in some situations, they want a person to go to immigration for the last week of the "ADMITTED TO" stamp. For Chonburi, to acquire an in-country visa, they NEED AT LEAST 15 days remaining on the "ADMITTED TO" stamp. SOME immigration offices require at least 21 days.

You can contact them at

Chonburi Immigration Office Website:

and is that the location you’re staying?

@Michael *****

did that immigration office tell you to wait until the last week to apply for an in-country visa?

@Michael *****

are you getting an extension of stay, or an in-country non-o visa?

@Dine ******

did you get the housemasters property book?

If you are approved for the in-country non-o visa, the turnaround time is 15 days for Chonburi, if my memory serves me right.

That would be a question to ask the immigration office. Different immigration offices have different policies.

Generally, only your employer can acquire a business visa for you. Talk to your employer for more information
