georgey Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 My one year extension based on marriage (O) comes up for renewal in a few weeks. As I was overseas for 7 months, I'd rather neglected my Thai account, and had let it run down to a very small balance. When I topped up, I realised I was 5 days late. I'm not expecting any favours from them (much as that would be nice), so would be grateful for any information as to what my options are at this stage.

Max69xl Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 What date did you top up the account and when does your current extension expire? You can apply for a 60 days extension based on visiting your wife, and 30 days into the extension apply for the 1 year extension. This way your money will be seasoned more than enough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ubonjoe Posted October 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 13, 2020 Some offices would do your extension with 5 days of overstay (no overstay fine until after the 31st) after paying the 500 baht a day fine. Check with your local immigration office to see if they will do it. If you have not used a 60 day extension to visit your wife since you last entry with a visa you could apply for it to get more time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he really needs to season the money, then the 60 days extension is the solution. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He stated his extension was ending. If he could not apply for the extension due to the money not being in the bank for 2 months he would be on a overstay.

georgey Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 Thank you for the replies. Joe, what you're suggesting sounds like it might be a neat solution. The money hit my account on 2nd Sept., & my extension is due 27th this month. My office is CW. If I understand correctly, if indeed they're prepared to do it this way, this could mean that I could extend on 2nd or 3rd Nov., & only pay fine for 2 or 3 days. Would that be right please? In your experience, would it be best to go there on or around the 27th, and ask them what they'd find acceptable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
