OKF Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) Hi@all, I used the search but could not find anything as this forum is not very well sorted and subdivided. So I may have to ask a question beeing asked before. I leave Thailand 9.2.19 and my visa non-immi O M is valid until 22.12.19 ..... 22.2.2019! I have heard that I can do an extension as I come back 15.4.19 for 7 weeks. Is it possible to get such extension and for how long would that be valid? I have air tickets for April-June already. If so I need to to do it a departure at immigration in the airport which would be after midnight. How much time would this take and do I need to bring documents (e.g. my Chanote and my Bankbooks) or not.Some specific anser would be highly appreciated. Thx!

elviajero Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) If you have a Multiple Entry Non-Immigrant Visa that doesn't expire until December you can leave and return for your seven weeks in April. If you have a 1 year extension of stay (permit) issued by you local immigration office you will need to buy a Re-entry Permit from your local immigration office, OR at the airport on the way out. Single entry; 1,000 baht. Multiple entry 3,800 baht. A Re-entry permit would be valid for one or multiple entries on or before December 22nd.

You would only get a 30 day visa exempt entry if you qualify for one (nationality?) that can be extended for 30 days since your visa will no longer be valid.

OKF Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) German....but 30 days I get for free anway, last time when I left I got told I can get an extension or Re-Entry permit? Edited January 12, 2019 by OKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritTim Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I suggest you get a Non O single (or multiple) entry visa before your return in April. This will get you a 90-day permission to stay in Thailand. If you come to Thailand in April without a valid visa, you will receive a 30-day "visa exempt" permission to stay. If you have a Thai spouse, you can extend this for a further 60 days at an immigration office in Thailand on payment of 1,900 baht. Without a Thai spouse, a 30-day extension of your permission to stay would still be possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot get an extension of any kind when returning or a re-entry permit. Perhaps they thought you would be entering before your visa expires which would allow another 90 day entry which you could get a re-entry permit for. You could do a border hop before you leave next month to get a new 90 day entry and then get a re-entry permit to keep the remainder of it valid when your return in April. For example if you did a border hop and entered on February 7th you would get a permit to May 7th which is date you would be stamped in till using the re-entry permit. A visa exempt entry would allow the 7 weeks your need with the 30 day extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OKF Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 Sorry, I not understand, when I leave 9.2. it is the same then a border hop, isn't it? I leave the country and come back 8 weeks later.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I leave the country and come back 8 weeks later.... No it is not. Your visa will be expired when you return in 8 weeks. It will still be valid for an entry on or before February 22 if you were to do a border hop before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanoshi Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 The 'enter before' date on your Visa is 22.2.19 You leave Thailand 9.2.19 You return to Thailand 15.4.19 If you do a border run just before you leave, say on 7.2.19 you would be given another (your last) 90 days permission to stay until 7.5.19. If you obtain a single re-entry permit (1,900 baht), when you return on 15.4.19 you will be stamped in until 7.5.19. You can apply for a 60 day extension (1,900 baht) after returning, but before 7.5.19, to visit Thai wife and you will be given permission to stay until 6.7.19 You will then need a new multi entry O Visa.
