Dissapointed..
Non-o marriage extension Nr. 18.. My annual visa always expired on 28 July. Date never changed in 18 years. so i applied as usual 1 month before expiry date with all the Paperwork,Photos,Bank statements,etc. My application for 1 year extension was accepted, the "visa is under consideration" stemp in the PP. -All good-.
Then the Immigration officer told me to get a new PP soon as the old one expires on 2.January 2023. "Yes, i know" i said, "but haven't got the new one yet". About 3 weeks later, before "under consideration" run out, proudly i returned to IO with my brand new PP and expected to receive the new 1 year visa stemp into my new PP. BUT NO!!! ... "I only give you visa until old PP expiry date" !
Shocked and hot dicussion starting. Why like that?? "Here is my new PP, please put the new stemp in" "NO,NO can Not" he said, but coudn't explain why. He even requested a Photocopy of my previous old PP entry stemp from 2010 when i entered Thailad the last time.... "What??? Sorry that was 12 years ago!" No chance.. i had to go and find my old PP and copy the the entry stemp page from 2010!
Finally, we left dissapointed the office with just 5 Month of Visa validity. Never had such a bad experience in all the years...
Remebered 10 years ago when i changed the last PP it was easy, visa tranfered into the new PP without any problems. For now it means, i have to apply again (2nd time this year) for a new annual visa extension in early December with all the paperwork,Photos,Bank Statements and of course the 1,900B fee.
Any others here in the forum who had similar problems? or does the IO officer just don't like me?
