Robinlovie,

 

Thanks for reporting back.  So this was a first extension of the visa exemption, right?  The one that was supposedly not necessary based on the "no need to queue" (for those arriving after Mar 1) announcement from the MFA spokesman? 

 

We also had a report here that those arriving for these extensions were told there was no need to report to immigration -- obviously false news.

 

May I ask what time you arrived?  

 

Honestly, we will stay at home and wait for the swat team to bust down our door for overstay before I will force my wife and small child to endure 8 hours of this idiotic nonsense. I have tried to avoid the Thai-bashing here, but in this case the Thai authorities truly deserve all the abuse directed toward them.

Got there at 8.15. I think they open at 9. Yes - i had also been told confidently elsewhere that I didn't need to even go and get the regular extension on a visa exemption arrival. And I hoped maybe that was the case. It certainly wasn't.

Hi all  -
am old user on a new account. Like everyone else am baffled by visa situation and here is mine:

Arrived first week march on visa exemption so my exemption expires tomorrow. WHat office do I go to to extend? Is it the old one in Sathorn or a new one? Or does anyone know if the automatic extensions are confirmed? I have been told on other forums that I don't need to do anything but as you might imagine I am not confident that this is correct. Any guidance much appreciated!
