    New Visa Extension Regulation in Thailand

    August 28, 2013

    By Richard Barrow

    Thai Immigration has just released a new regulation that will affect people who need to renew their passport before their visa expires. In the past, Immigration would transfer your visa from your old passport to the new one for free. But, this has now changed. Not only do you have to pay a 1,900 Baht fee, you also have to submit all of the documents again as if you were applying for the visa again. Here is their announcement:

    According to the New Regulation from August 13, 2013: When submitting application for Visa Extension if the validity of passport of the applicant is not longer than one year left before expiry, the extension of stay will be permitted not exceeding the expired date of passport. After the renewal of your passport of obtaining a new passport, you have to re-apply for Visa Extension by submitting required document and paying extension fee ( 1,900 Baht ). In case of overstay, the fine is 500 Baht per day.

    I am going to be one of the people affected by the moving of the goal posts while the game is in play. I renewed my visa back in March and it was stamped “Extension of stay approved up to 30 March 2014″. As my passport will expire at the end of the year, they added “but permitted to stay up to 18 December 2013 due to validity of passport”. At the time they assured me that it is no problem to transfer the visa to the new passport and that it would be free.

    I’m hoping I will be exempt as I already applied for my visa before this new regulation started. But, I am not too hopeful. Paying the 1,900 Baht visa extension fee is fine. I am used to that kind of thing now. What is daunting is having to collect all of the documents again to support my application. It took nearly a month last time. I am not looking forward to having to do this again so soon.

    UPDATE: According to Lt Col Napat Nusen from the Phuket Immigration, people who have already been given a one year visa beyond the expiry date of their passport, will be exempt from this new regulation.

    “Foreigners who already have a permit-to-stay that extends beyond the expiry date on their passport will be allowed to have their current permit-to-stay transferred into their new passport when it arrives.”

    This is good news for people like myself who already have a visa but their passport expires before the visa. But from now onwards, if your passport expires in say 11 months you will only be given a visa for 11 months instead of the full year.

  4. Does anyone knows, if there are good laundry shops in Mukdahan, and if they really clean your clothes good.

    If so, where are they located.

    When I take my clothes to the laundry shop I always go, they have to wash it again since its not really clean.

  6. Can someone update the south situation, cause i'm planning to drive there on tuesday from bangkok to Koh samui.

    Any option to get there by road?

    Thanks

    I came over to Surath on 05/04 with the bus, no problems at all to get here, now still staying in Surath City.

  7. I had several times packages send yo me from Europe to Iesaan (Trakarn Phutpon near Ubon).

    Never had a problem receiving it with just a typed adress in english.

    But if you whant to be sure send first a Thai written adress label, so they who whant to send something can just put it on the packet.

    Chris

  8. You can buy Ricard (or Pernod) in the different branches of Macro around Thailand. I bought it at the Macro in Ubon. Used to drink it when i still lived in Europe with some ice and water, the taste is almost the same as absinth.

    It is not ment to drink pure.
