dante123 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Hi everyone and happy new year. Heres my situation, ive recently changed my visa from non-o to non-b been to singapore to submit the papers, got the 90 days visa when entered back to thailand, stamp expires on March 12th im supposed to fly to USA on Feb 18th until March 18th, not really flexible on dates. to my understanding im to get a 30 days extension that i can apply for 30 days before the stamp expires which is Feb 12th and onwards my accountant keep saying its enough time and wont be an issue but id like to be safe will this be enough time ? they say they do it all for me , they apply on feb 12th and supposedly get the passport 2-3 days after with the 30 days extension(until April 12th) along with a re-entry permit that will apply for on the same day. any problems can occur with this timing ? il add that i also moved to bangkok from phuket and didnt update the address in immigration yet, i suggested to my accountant to do it before that as maybe they will require it , he says dont need and can do that later... will like your opinions on this matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritTim Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Do you have a work permit? If so, it ought to be possible to extend your permission to stay up to the expiry date of your work permit. There is no 30-day extension of a Non B visa. If you have a Thai spouse, you can get the 60-day extension to visit her (subject to not having done so since your last entry into Thailand using a visa).

My non-o was the same thing as well, consideration period was the term if i remember correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SussexExpat Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I had a similar problem when I didn't realise my Thai bank required 7 working days to provide a yearly statement. I went to my IO and was told to report on the last day of my extension and would have to pay a daily overstay fine until the statement arrived. Fortunately the statement arrived in time.

That is not an extension. It is a under consideration stamp with a report back date on it that would be 30 days from the date you apply for the one year extension. I cannot see you being able to make your trip without losing your current 90 day entry unless immigration starts the report back date from March 12th.
