Hi,
I might have a problem to solve. Hope someone here can give me advise. I am from Sweden, 65 years old, I havd had retirement visa for years, but because of the pandemic I didn't come back to Thailand to renew it, so now I have to start from scratch.
I came here in October on a visa exemption 45 days and now I have a visa for 30 days that expires on December 26. I have all the documents I need to get an income statement from the Swedish consulate here in Pattaya, but not until Monday 12. That means I can't go to immigration in Jomtien until Tuesday 13. I guess they are closed on Monday, Constitution Day.
As it has been before, we need to make the application for retirement visa 15 days before the other visa expires. So I should need to be at immigration on this coming Friday. They might be friendly and let me leave my application even I am a few days late, but if not I need to leave the country to get some kind of extension on my 30 day visa.
My question is, where to go if I need? Have been to both Vientiane and Savannakhet a few years ago, so I know that works. Are there other border crossing I can go to, Trat for instants?
Appreciate all relevant advice
Kind regard,
Claes
