2009 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) So, my last extension of stay was done in Isaan. Now I live in Bangkok. I still have a home in Isaan and we go back several months a year. Can I do my next 1 year extension of stay at the Isaan immigration? I suppose I just have to update my TM thingy to say that I am living back there. Edited February 9, 2021 by 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackdd Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 You are supposed to use the immigration office in the province in which you are staying. So if you happen to stay in Isaan when your extension is due you do of course apply at the local immigration office there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quack Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) I think he could change to another office if he informs them that he has changed his permanent address. But if the permanent address is still in Bangkok, then no. Edited February 10, 2021 by Quack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickmondo Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 it depends where you got your first permit, visa, or whatever people are calling it these days. I do the Retirement extension each year. I got my first Retirement stamp in Hua Hin. For that reason, I have to renew in HH every year. If i want to change, I have to cancel by leaving the country and starting over again. I came here on Tourist, and changed to Retirement. I do the extension, which is a stamp in the passort each year, not a sticky visa sticker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is incorrect info somebody has given you or a misunderstanding All you need to do is change your address to a different province and apply at the immigration office for there. The requirement to apply at the office where you applied is for the first extension after getting a 90 day non-o visa entry at immigration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allane Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 If you are familiar with the procedures at the Immigration office in your old province, do it there, before you move. This should prevent you from being blindsided by some different procedure at the new Immigration office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natway09 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 If your place of abode has changed you do "a change of address" before doing your next renewal preferably at the same time. Takes about 20 minutes It is legal, above board & no, you do not need to leave the country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
