Popular Post ubonjoe Posted June 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2020 You can apply for your extension up to 30 days early at most offices and 45 days at others. No need to wait until the last day. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Malawi Posted June 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2020 Not a good idea to wait until the last minute in case of any problems. Always do a few weeks early. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ehs818 Posted June 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 10, 2020 Apply early. You don't lose days on your visa as the renewal will show your original due date. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to wait until the last day. It's definitely good to go as early as possible. For the Immigration office on Koh Samui, more than 7 to 10 days in advance seems "not possible" though. My yearly extension usually expires on 29th April. I have been told by immigration officers to apply for my next 1-year extension only from the 19th (in the last two years) or from the 22nd (this year).

Taxi Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I've been fined for late, 2 or 3 days. I thought I had the option like 90 day reporting but no. On or before due day, after that you will likely be fined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would anyone even leave it so late when the option to renew is between 30 and 45 days before depending on the office? #oldfarangsmatter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ardsong Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) just done my yearly extension today (10 days before date) in Phrae Immigration, a new office as before I had to travel all the way to Nan Immigration It all went smooth and quick, 40 minutes in and out. Even less documents to show as in Nan. Had the monthly income letter from Dutch Embassy, and that was enough; no bankbook nor prints from monthly transfers were asked for , though I had it all with me.

Were you being asked to produce health insurance coverage your "O/OA" yearly extension? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That particular office is renowned for its rogue practices - which, if I recall correctly, include having to provide a fresh medical certificate for each retirement extension application.
