stament Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) Good morning all, What is the latest date you can apply for the above? Can you leave it until the very last day your visa expires and then be given the one month under consideration, or must the application be submitted before that? My visa expires on 19th April 2023 which is just after Songkran. Does the extension visa also require witnesses like the first visa? How long does it take to process, one month as per the original application? Thanks in advance. Edited August 28, 2022 by stament Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 You can apply for the extension of stay up to the last day of your current one expires. You would get the normal 30 day under consideration stamp. Whether witnesses are required or not depends upon the office where you apply for the extension. It will probably take about the same amount of time for the approval as for the first one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stament Posted August 28, 2022 Author Share Posted August 28, 2022 Out of interest @ubonjoeI have seems lots of comments saying that it is easier to renew, compared to applying for the initial visa. I thought this referred to the docimentstion. However, the paperwork all looks the same to me. Am I missing something, what makes it easier?

It will always be about the same for every extension of stay application. The only difference may be the need for witnesses and a home visit after the first one is applied for. That depends upon the office where you apply. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will ask when I go for my 90 day reporting next week at Chiang Mai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalueng Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 In Hua Hin you need a witness who confirms you really are married and staying at declared address for every extension, but no home visit after the initial application. You can renew as early as 45 days before expiry, then you are asked to come back after 30 days to get the extension stamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andycoops Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 At my office your wife must be with when you submit the visa extension paperwork. One set from you and signed by you and my wife has a set that she signs. No wife no extension. Your office of course might be different but I would definitely ask before hand.

Yes in Chiang Mai your wife must also be present, I expect that is the case at all offices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the under consideration will be 30 days after expiration, so it can be 75 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I deposited the money on the 31 of July so going in on the 30th September would that satisfy the 2 months money in the bank option OR I'm pushing it? Should I change my appointment to the Monday 3rd of October? Thank you in advance Walailak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is two months from the day the money was deposited. That would be the 31st of September if there were 31 days in the month. I would do it no earlier than October 3rd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
