RubbaJohnny Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I heard there are 2 Songkran substute days in September. 4 and 7 Does this mean Post Office , School Banks and of course Immigration will all close from 3- and re-open 8th ? Or is thsi just considered a religeous rather than public holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerandDog Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I thought they had the substitute Songkran holidays back in July. Govt offices, Imm & banks were all closed then and employees I know in the bank said they were closed for Songkran replacement holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was combined with another holiday. These are the other 2 Songkran holidays that were canceled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garygooner Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I guess it gives another small boost of much needed domestic travel to places like Pattaya & Phuket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanuman2 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Are immigration offices ever open on a Saturday? I want to try getting a 2 month extension on a multi-O based on child support but don't want to have to pull my boy out of school in order to take him to immigration with me. Cheers.

You will to take you child out of school long enough to be with you when you apply for a 60 day extension to visit your child. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as a follow-up, about 2 years or so ago I went to my local immigration office to get a 2 month extension for the same kind of visa but I didn't have the TM30. At that time, I paid an approx 2000Bt fine and got registered on their system and got the 2 months extension. This time when i try for a 2 month extension (different visa but same visa type), will the lack of a TM30 be a problem or can I just say "I'm already on your system at the same address" and it won't be a problem? I know about the inconsistencies around different imm. offices, but I'm just wondering if anyone knows the actual law about this. Cheers!

Under a new immigration regulation that went into effect on June 30th the TM30 report is not required unless you change your address that immigration has in their records. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
