Extension of Stay/Retirement Visa.

[jamie2009]

My current Extension of Stay expires on the 14th of December in line with my Multiple Re Entry Permit.

i will be leaving Thailand in November returning on the 11th of December, I know you can renew your Extension 45 Days before it expires. If I return a few days after the 14th can I still renew it or is there no period of grace after the expiry date ?

 

Secondly if I do renew it before I leave do I have to get another Re Entry Permit to cover my new Extension as the current one expires inline with my current Visa ?

No. If you return after the 14th the re-entry permit will have expired and you’ll be given a 30 day ‘tourist’ entry. You could only apply a few days late if you were in the country continuously from the 14th and paid the overstay fine.

Yes, you would need a new re-entry permit to protect the new (current) permit to stay.

Thanks for the info.
