Confuscious Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Assume that you have a valid VISA/Visa extension and you are forced to go back to your home country for a surgery. You surgery, or the revalidation period, takes longer as the date of your next VISA extension. Can you ask for a visa extension in your country or by post in this case (Medical urgency)?

rwilem Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 (edited) No, no can do. You can't apply for an extension if you are not in-country. At some point in the process you will have to present yourself at the immigration office Plus the new stamp has to be put in the passport. Unless there is some 'one-off, special consideration understanding', it's not possible. Edited February 20, 2023 by rwilem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caldera Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 If your permission to stay expires while you're out of country, it's not possible to extend it. You'll need to start over fresh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly you have no idea of how visas and stamps etc work. As already mentioned by others. Nothing an agent can do for the OP.

The only thing you can ask for in your home country is a fresh real genuine McCoy non-immigrant visa (as opposed to one masquerading as an extension of stay) from the local Thai embassy!
