We have toerist stamp up to march 1th (entry jan 1th). Our flight is (changed to) march 4th. So we have just 3 days overstay. Any advise or experience in the group to go for visa extend somewhere or is it easy to pay at the immigration on the airport (Survarnabhumi)?

Hello all, would love to get in touch with anyone whose done the ED visa + guardian (non -O). I’m 34 days into my 60 day stay on multiple entry visa and about to enroll my child into an international school. Is it possible to do this visa while in Thailand or will I eventually have to to leave the country. I’m hearing it can take up to a month to process.

I have just done a visa run after a 60 + 30 days.

Flew to Vientiane from DMK. Advise you get an e-visa for Loas as visa on arrival queue was biblical and slow.

Arrived back today. IO wanted to know when I was leaving so produced my flight booking which will be 4 days before my new visa exemption runs out.

So back in Thailand.

Any recommendations for a visa next year.

Edited to add new context:

Evidently Chaengwattana does NOT typically need a TM-27 (despite the comments below). The situation that makes this different is that I have not filed a 90 day report at my new home in Bangkok (because I've left the country multiple times and not stayed long enough for a 90 day report) so my last 90 day report from last year still reflects my old address. That's the cause of the situation and need to return next week.

Saw a related topic and thought I'd share a cautionary tale from today's visit to Chaengwattana. Error on my part, hopefully will get it worked out. Hadn't heard of this happening before, but I'm sure it has. Immigration officer said I was the second person today with a similar experience. Had been living in Hua Hin for a couple years then started to split my time with a place I rented in Bangkok.

Did the last two extensions of stay in Hua Hin (over 50, non-O). Last year, I left my place in Hua Hin and have been living exclusively in Bangkok. Did the Bangkok TM 30 once I moved for good, but did not file a change of address TM-27 (cue foreboding music).

Today I tried to get a new extension. Had every bit of paperwork I thought was necessary, but got caught out on not having done the address change and asked why I wasn't going to the Hua Hin office for my extension. Explained I hadn't been living there for almost a year and showed them my Bangkok rental contract and TM 30.

They asked for my last rental contract and TM 30 for my place in Hua Hin (which miraculously I had with me).

All ended up with them asking me to write a letter to the supervisor explaining my move, apologizing and asking for their consideration. Have to go back next week (with freshly updated bank letter, transaction record and bank book since it'll be beyond the 7 day period of the previous letter) to see if the extension was approved by the supervisor.

Sooo... Chaengwattana definitely appears to need the TM-27 filed if you move provinces.

I went to immigration in Ubon to do my one year extension today , married to thai. I got over two months under consideration. Because 4 weeks under consideration starts on the expiry date of the last extension according to the officer. Is that normal practice?

Can I get some advice please

Jomtien immigration have only given me a non-O Visa for three months, I applied for a 12 month, has this happened to anyone before? 

And do I have to complete the forms and get bank statements again for when I return in 3 months time.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Just looking for advice regarding my situation. I know there's a lot of advice already posted, I know that the easiest thing to do is probably just to pay a border agent, but I want to ask for advice anyway.

I first arrived in Thailand in August of '22, then recieved a Non-B (legitimately) in September through the company (teaching agency) that hired me. I worked for that company until March '24, then went back to the US. I returned to Thailand in early January for a wedding and realized I didn't really want to live in the USA anymore. I was able to secure another job for the next academic year (signed contract and everything), but that won't start until May. My 60 days are up in March - what's the best course of action? Should I leave before the 60 days are up and then try to return (after a few days or weeks) without getting the 30 day extension first? Should I just go somewhere else until May?

I’ve seen the problems some are having with immigration trying to return. In the last 12 months I’ve had 1 x 60 day visa + 30, 1 x 30 + 30 and 2 x 60 + 30’s in my passport.

Next time I enter I will be applying for the Non-O based on retirement but don’t want to risk entering on a 60 day again, just in case. So I looked up the requirements to apply for the 90 day Non-O.

Am I missing something because I’ve seen what is needed to apply for the same visa in Thailand and the online application didn’t ask for that much. It asked for normal stuff like passport details, proof of UK address, flight details, Thailand address, current photo and proof of funds, showing I had the equivalent of 800k baht in my UK bank. That’s it!

So when I arrive and apply for the extension, do I 100% not have to show 800k in my Thai account? If not, what happens the next year when it’s time to renew? I’m guessing I’ll need the 800k 2 months before application or 12 x 65k pm transfers right?

Hi , I arrived in Thai with visa exemption 60 days. I like to extend to 30 days . Do I go to the IT sqaure Lak Si or Government Complex ? Do I also need the embassy letter apart from TM7 forms, copies and original of passport , visa pages and TM30?

Hi everyone 👋

My partner and I are both on a holiday visa (60 day) and want to extend for an extra 30 days but wanting to know the process on how to do so.

We are in Samui if that helps.

Thank you in advance ☺️
