yaman Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Hi, I have a quick question. I am planning to do my third annual extension of my Non O (marriage based) visa. Am I correct in my understanding that the deadline for submitting the application is until the expiration date of the residence permit stamp? I know that the application can be filed 45 days or 30 days earlier, but I would like to know the final deadline. Thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ubonjoe Posted May 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2022 You can apply for a new extension of stay up to the day your current one expires. Best not to wait until the last day though. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonlover Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 The closest I came to the expiry date was 6 days! That came about because I was moving to a new province and I didn't want to apply in the old one. The IO was completely unfazed about it, but as Ubonjoe says best not leave it until the last day just in case there's something you've overlooked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sometimewoodworker Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Some people have been lucky enough to submit the application in the week after expiry and had the application accepted, it added a ฿500 per day late fine to the cost, this is not a good idea as you may (should) get rejected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easydoor Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 A visa you cannot renew, it it the 'extension of stay ' you have to renew. Waiting for the last day is not very clever. Why should you do this? You don't loose days in case you go early as your new extension always starts the day after your old one expires. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemonjelly Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Just check the date on the NON-O extension stamp in your passport. Don’t refer to the date for your next 90 day report, as this sometimes goes past the expiration date on extension stamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUNROAMIN Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I was told by my IM0 that it is safer to apply about one week before expired date. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always go about 4 business days before the expiration date and always check ahead for any Thai holidays. If filing in Pattaya/Jomtien, the lady working the marriage desk is notorious for finding something "wrong" and will make you return with the "correction". 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IO at CW looked over all the paperwork, photos ect then said " 1900 baht for extension and 4,000 baht for 8 day overstay." 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned you got lucky, so a late application is always worth trying, but you should plan for a refusal and be thankful if you also get lucky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimn Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I have no idea why people wait until the last minute. You dont lose days by doing the extension early. I did my extension last week, April 29 and received back today stamped and valid until the expiry date May 24th 2023. If people are trying to tie up the extension date and the 90 day report date then simply report online its easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thalueng Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 (edited) In Hua Hin it is advisable to do the new extension 45 to 30 days before expiry. After submitting the extension documents you are told to come back after 30 days to get the extension stamp, apparently so that the documents can get checked somewhere else (Bangkok, province main IO?). If you apply for the extension less than 30 days before expiry the IO will give you a 1 month extension stamp first (from the date you apply, not the expiry of the previous extension), and then a new stamp with the remaining 11 months. Before you say that's not true, that's how it's handled in Hua Hin. Other provinces may follow a different procedure.

You get a under consideration stamp with a report back date on it. It is not a extension stamp. Extensions of stay based upon marriage have to be approved at the division level of immigration. For Hua Hin that is Division 3 for the central region of the country that has its headquarters in Bangkok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Jarse Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Yemen maybe out of the country so an important question.I one renewed the stay 6 days and was advised to do it at least a month before expiry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
