I noticed when I was at immigration office last week that the evisa extension system is live now. I wonder if that can be used for VE entries? I looked at the website at the time and it said that it was only for tourist visas. Does that mean TV’s issued by consulates overseas or does it include VE? Just a thought. If they include non O visas in the future it could save a lot of time printing out copies of documents. Here’s hoping
There is one other option that might suit your situation if you don’t mind spending the money and that is you could get a Thailand Elite visa. 5 or 10 years available. Multiple entry so come and go as you please.
Interesting that you were asked for the updated KR2 and I wasn’t. Perhaps it depends on the particular IO. Good point about getting your documents checked at L1 counter 27. I also had to do that.
I wondered about that but checked again and my date calculation was wrong and I actually submitted it 11 days before the due date and not 15 as I initially thought. Anyway I would expect to get a rejection email if I was outside the window. I will just make sure not to submit on a weekend next time 😄
Did you check that the landlord at your new location has submitted an updated TM30 for your stay? If not ask him/her to do it then try again. Was any reason for rejection given in the rejection email? If it was your first report after arriving in Thailand it will inform you that first report after arrival has to be done in person or something similar.
Yes there is no such thing as a three month extension for an Elite visa. The only way to extend normally is to get another visa. I was just thinking that if he hadn’t already had the 6 month covid extension he could get that which would give plenty of time for them to process his next visa. The fact that they have offered to send their staff to assist him to get a 3 month extension suggests that they know that they have made a mistake and are trying to correct it. As I said before I would suggest that he follows their suggestion and let their staff help to get the necessary extension.
