Last day to apply for 1-year-extension renewal?

[THAILIBAN]

Due to some unexpected event, I have to leave the country for a week or so. The extension of my 1-year-permission to stay based on retirement is expiring. What would - in theory - be the last day to apply for renewal of the extension, without occurring any legal problems? I am aware that it is not recommended to wait until the very last day possible, so there is no need to mention this, but in my case the timing just got critical.

What if my extension ends on a weekend day, in 2017 this could be, for example, 25th or 26th of Nov which are Saturday/Sunday? Would the application have to be submitted the Friday before or Monday after is still accepted?

Thank you very much

You can do the application a few days after your extension ends after paying a 500 baht per day overstay fine.

If your permit to stay ends on a weekend or holiday you can do it on the first day they are open without being on an overstay. For you example that would be the 27th.

In the situation you cite, your main problem may be your return to Thailand. Let's say you return on November 25, and that is the day your extension (and related re-entry permit) expire. I think you will have a tough job getting the immigration official at the airport to admit you on the day your permission to stay expires. I think it quite likely, the IO will insist on giving you 30 days visa exempt. I am 99.999% certain that would be the case if returning November 26, after the re-entry permit expires.

Thanks for the input, BritTim,

I definitely would make sure NOT to return to the kingdom AFTER the extension has already expired
