Overstaying by hours
Maestro replied to MindfulPresence's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
That's correct. Immigration counts days, including fractions of a day, not nights as hotels do. Immigration also does not count hours, minutes and seconds. It's like the package tours offered by travel agents: 7 days (6 nights) The way Thai immigration counts days is the same way that immigration of all other countries do. -

Extension of visa exempt, and, TM 30?
Maestro replied to JemJem's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
It is fascinating that immigration officials ask applicants for an extension of stay for a copy of the TM.30 notification made by the hotel where they are staying instead of looking it up on their own computer. Is it because they have not been trained to do this database search? -

Format of documents when apply for an E-visa
Maestro replied to Sjoerd's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
From what I have seen, the type of acceptable document formats is separately stated for each section of the application process. -
More Multiple Entry non O Woe's
Maestro replied to Bday Prang's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
London is a desired location for Thai diplomatic staff and I consider it likely that many do not get posted there because of there qualifications for the job and there manners. -
Thank you for posting that link. From that web page: The critical part here is "who wishes to enter the Kingdom" However, the discussion in the context in which you made your post is not about a foreigner who wishes to enter Thailand; he is already in the country. He goes to his local immigration office after a visa-exempt entry or after entry with a visa other than a non-immigrant visa to apply for a non-immigrant visa with the form TM.86 APPLICATION FOR CHANGE OF VISA or the form TM.87 APPLICATION FOR VISA (where on both forms "visa" is a wrong translation of the Thai text ลงตรำ, which in the context of these forms means "arrival stamp"), as the case may be, to subsequently apply for a one-year extension of permission to stay for the apposite reason.

Do I have to be out of Thailand for 180 days?
Maestro replied to bannork's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Your UK nationality does not qualify you for the visa on arrival, but under the visa waver program you are free to travel to Thailand any time without a visa for the purpose of tourism for 30 days (29 nights). Be sure to say "tourism" if the immigration official asks for the reason of your visit, because there is a miniscule chance that if you say "visit my wife" a surly official may incorrectly berate you that you should have used a non-O visa.
