Expiring Non O retirement - can I get a short term extension in country

[chrisdunn]

My Non O extension expires soon. I dont want/ unable to extend as I am leaving six days later. Is there any short term ( legal) options available within Thailand?

You can apply for a extension pay the 1900 baht fee and be granted 7 days to leave the country after it is denied.

So on the last day of my visa I can go to immigration and ask for this 7 day extension. OK Thanks.

No you apply for your Non O extension as normal your application will have requirements missing such as insufficient money in account you pay your normal 1900 baht fee, your application will be rejected and you will be given 7 days to leave the country

That is not needed.

Just completed a TM7 form and leave the reason blank and they know what you want.

Will that work in all immigrations?

On Samui, for example, you won't even get a queue-number to se an immigration officer if all papers are not there.

It should work.

Samui is not the same as most immigration offices.

I only wrote about the TM7 form not the passport copies that would be needed.

You might not get a queue-number on Samui, if your application is not filled in correct, there are examples of that; i.e. not pass the officer that is checking application and paperwork and giving out queue-numbers.
 

There is a least one case of being rejected and told to just pay the overstay when leaving Thailand.
